Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for July 31.
Today's TAB meetings are held at Bendigo, Sunshine Coast, Forbes, Muswellbrook, Kalgoorlie and Roebourne.
BENDIGO: RACE 5 @ 2:20 PM
Imported filly CAP DE JOIE (11) impressed at her local debut when running out an easy winner at this track when well supported. This race appears the ideal progression and she can continue winning ways on the path to better races. SPANISH SNITZEL (1) saves his best for this track and trip having won three of his four attempts. He handles rain affected going and looms as a danger. GUANTANAMERA (7) broke through easily in this distance range last start and can take running down again from a forward position. Keep safe. I AM NEWS (3) ran an encouraging race resuming last start and is suited up to this trip second up. Include among the chances. SELECTIONS: #1 Cap De Joie appears destined for better races.

SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 7 @ 3:25 PM
SAFEEYA (3) resumes for a respected barn seeking the hat-trick. A top hoop sticks from the recent trial warmer and the mare will take beating presented on-song. JETTY (1) resumed in stronger at Doomben and needed it. Draws well and the second-up record is sharp. He's right up to this and can improve quickly. MISS TOO FLY (6) won the 60 here at the mile and then came back and was beaten 1L on resumption. Thompson sticks and she won't have to improve much to be a player. I AM WINKLES (9) brings a Maiden win form the poly. Keeps getting better and is in the mix. SELECTIONS: Keen on Safeeya.
FORBES: RACE 4 @ 2:05 PM
POSSIBLY SO (2) has been storming home of late and gets the blinkers applied first time today after a 0.8L defeat most recently. He's drawn much better today with Tony Cavallo sticking. He looks the one to beat. DEEL STREET (3) was only 0.5L away at Moree last start when running on gamely from the rear. Barrett will have to adopt similar tactics from the outside draw, but with little weight on her back she'll be steaming home late. OSMAN (4) was a big winner two back at Coonamble, but disappointed at Gunnedah most recently. The blinkers are reapplied for today's race and he's right in this race if he runs up to form. REAL SALTY (11) is going along nicely and seems to be hitting her straps for this as she steps back out in trip. Must be kept safe. RIDERS INTHE STAND (12) turned in a great run fresh and is usually even better second-up. Respect. SELECTIONS: Possibly So gets the nod.
KALGOORLIE: RACE 7 @ 4:50 PM
LONG WEEKEND (5) seeks the hat-trick and keeps spiking his figures. Has the speed to manage the awkward barrier and can go right on with it. SOLARIZE (3) has been racing well without winning. Draws for the run of the race and is a chance to make the quinella. EMERALD ROSE (4) won here at this level off the wide gate. Draws better and will get every chance to repeat. OLD BAILEY (8) led and folded-up the latest and go on the near-miss prior. He will run along from the rail and has to be considered. SELECTIONS: Backing Long Weekend to win.
MUSWELLBROOK: RACE 3 @ 1:50 PM
POWERFUL PEG (14) finished second over this track and trip on debut before being slightly disappointing at Scone last time out. Will be near her peak third up and looks hard to beat after scratchings. BIG TIME CHARLIE (2) was a handy second when resuming, draws low and gets 3kg off with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. The very well-related SNIZZI (8) is at the races for the first time and any market moves must be noted. SELECTIONS: Backing Powerful Peg.
ROEBOURNE: RACE 2 @ 2:30 PM
TOP NOTCH SCOTCH (3) made it two in a row and was too strong for a similar field last start. Should be winning again. GINGER SENORITA (2) made a mess of the start last time out and couldn't recover. Allow another chance in this small field. NORTHERN CHILL (1) looks to be the likely pacemaker in this field and should take some running down. YOURTHEONEFORME (4) is out of form at the moment but is having his first run on the track and that might see a return to his best. SELECTIONS: Top Notch Scotch win bet.
