Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on December 4.
Six TAB meetings are held across Australia on this Wednesday at Gosford, Echuca, Sandown, Beaudesert, Bunbury & Gawler.
Gosford: Race 7 @ 5:30pm
Low-flying in the last with Happy Mo, The Real Boss and Lagarde all capable of leading. EDISON (3) is a talented colt resuming in a winnable race. Finished 3rd in a three-way thriller first up last prep over 1200m at Randwick. Won a recent trial and off a break of just ten weeks should have some residual fitness. ZETA'S ROCKET (6) was knocking on the door and the win came last start over this course and distance when he dug in late to score by half a length. Lightly raced six-year-old who rarely runs a bad race. Can win again now that he has struck form. LAGARDE (9) went fast and only Zeta's Rocket could catch her here last time. Fitter now and will be prominent for a long way. The veteran ISORICH (1) turned back the clock last start and has to be respected. SELECTIONS: #3 Edison has enough class to beat the race-fit opposition.

Gawler: Race 6 @ 4:50pm
Line Dancer my be the one to lead. WHITE HEATH (2) just missed this grade in town and then delivered at Balaklava heavily-backed. Chau’s claim brings him right into it again and the draw advantages. LINE DANCER (6) is much better than the last two suggest and go on the near-miss three back at this level. Is in good hands and a win wouldn’t surprise. SPIEGEL GROVE (1) finds much easier grade and Holder is a key booking. CLASSY JOE (3) was just okay last time, but won this track and level prior and is a player drawn to advantage. SELECTIONS: # 2 White Heath looks a good staying prospect.
Beaudesert: Race 5 @ 5:10pm
Reset’s Son will cross over and likely lead from Spanish Hurricane. SPANISH HURRICANE (2) will be better for the two runs back in stronger races and winning rider Fradd is reunited. He has the early speed you need here and can win this. SPIRIT'S PRIDE (1) will use the rail and was back to form winning the 70 this trip at Toowoomba. A repeat of that would make him hard to beat. SKY ONE (6) has won and placed his last two here and they stack right up. Draws handy and he’s a chance to bounce with the big weight drop. RESET'S SON (5) beat the above the latest and did it well coming back to this trip. The gate is a slight issue. SELECTIONS: # 2 Spanish Hurricane should get all the favours.
Echuca: Race 8 @ 5:15pm
A number capable of leading with solid early pace. SCORPIOS SUNSET (3) resumes in easier and the 3kg claim is handy. Draws well and expect him to be tuned up and prove hard to beat. FRANKEL STAR (5) resumes for the new yard and bring good figures from Queensland. Will run along and be a serious player. ROCKIN' SONNY (7) peaks off a low gate and look past the bush from. He could surprise. DETENTORE (1) comes back in trip and is better than the form-line suggests. Keep safe. SELECTIONS: Looks a good starting point for # 3 Scorpios Sunset.
Sandown: Race 7 @ 6:45pm
Miss Street and Izzy Good will ensure this is run at a cracking tempo. MISS STREET (1) looks one of the better bets on the card. Resumed over 955m at Moonee Valley last start and showed tremendous pace to lead clearly and was only gathered in around 50m from home. Fitter for that run and her record at 1000m reads five wins and five placings from 12 starts. Back in class and looks too good. DIVINE MR TYCOON (2) contested the same race at Moonee Valley last time out but was no match for the speed of the top pick, clocking-in around 2 lengths adrift of her in 5th spot. Each-way claims with added fitness third up from spell. BEL'S BANNER (9) has not raced since finishing a close 4th over this distance at Moonee Valley on 4 October. Very good fresh performer - watch for him charging home. ELEGIST (7) won a Terang maiden most impressively last start. Big step up today but is lightly raced and going places. SELECTIONS: Load up on #1 Miss Street.
