Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for major Australian TAB meetings on November 1.
Meetings across Australia are today held at Moonee Valley, Wagga, Kilcoy, Tatura, Moree and the Sunshine Coast.
Moonee Valley: Race 1 @ 6:00pm
Sweeping The Board may get a comfortable lead. Defiant Dancer (3) won the Maiden in Adelaide by 5.5L before tackling Group and Stakes races. Just missed the placings in the Gothic Stakes the latest, and he's a promising galloper who should have these covered at the mile, with the handy claim. HEART OF PUISSANCE (4) won the Maiden on debut after being back and wide. He'll win more races and is a chance if the above falters. ASTRAEUS (2) wasn't far behind Defiant Dancer in the Gothic improving again, and won't be far away. SELECTIONS: #3 Defiant Dancer can win and go on.

Moree: Race 6 @ 4.25pm
Pork And Beans and Dinah Moe Humm from opposite sides of the draw will be the lamplighters. Bullseye Score (3) raced wide on the speed then gave plenty in the run home but found the winner a touch stronger over 900m at Muswellbrook last start. Scored easily over this course and distance when resuming the run before. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and this race looks a shade easier than the last assignment. INCOMPARABLE (1) returns from an 11-month spell for a new stable. Form early last prep in Victoria was particularly good, including a first up placing over 1000m at Pakenham synthetic. Expect him to be ready to fire while fresh. SWOOP (9) looked home but was grabbed in the shadow of the post recently over 1000m at Gunnedah. Sure to give a great sight with the aid of the inside alley. ARROW EXPRESS (5) wasn't disgraced in town last start and will find this easier. SELECTIONS: #3 Bullseye Score is flying and should return to the winner's list.
Tatura: Race 7 @ 4:30pm
Patriotic Act can lead from Vinaceous. LADY (6) has missed a lip twice since the Benalla win. Expect the mile to suit and she's the one to beat with the handy 3kg claim. PATRIOT ACT (1) has been close up the last two and peaks for this. Races handy and the 4kg claim brings him right into it. VINACEOUS (4) is a former WA galloper who will be better for the first-up run for the new yard. Was close up in Listed grade three back and keep very safe. PRAY FOR US (8) is better than the formline suggests and will be around the mark. SELECTIONS: #6 Lady just needs a good run in transit to take this out.
Wagga: Race 8 @ 5.55pm
Zarsnip and Crimson Hoffa to go forward but only at an even clip. Crimson Hoffa (1) was a real eye-catcher last start over 1000m at this track, storming home from last at one stage to get up for 2nd, beaten under a length. Cherry-ripe after two runs back and will relish getting out to this trip. LOVE ME BROKE (3) was in the market but a bit one-paced when resuming over 1010m at Moruya last time out, eventually clocking-in a well-beaten 5th. Has only raced twice and the extra ground today should elicit sharp improvement. SUPALUX (4) made good late inroads to finish less than 2 lengths adrift recently over 1300m at this circuit. Will be winding up strongly again. LUBERON (12) has had just the two starts, both over 1000m at this venue, and can improve over an extra furlong this time. SELECTIONS: #1 Crimson Hoffa a good bet to close the card at attractive odds in early markets.
Sunshine Coast: Race 6 @ 9:40pm
Chevy Nova (2) is a promising individual. His record early in his career is faultless. Won with a leg in the air (as expected) here three weeks ago. Draws pole again and can repeat the dose with even luck. LEROYTHECONQUEROR (3) is ready for this. Fitted up with two solid trials for his return. Trained on track. Got a fair way back in his races last time in and left his runs all too late, constantly finishing in the minor money. If they roll forward and put him into the race he's a big chance. LET'S GO BOBBY (4) has placed at both previous fresh attempts so should be kept safe. CABALO ESCURO (7) can improve second up. SELECTIONS: Chevy Nova straight out.
