Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on January 19.
Six TAB meetings are held across Australia on this Sunday at Muswellbrook, Cowra, Sunshine Coast, Stony Creek, Albany and Werribee.
Werribee: Race 8 @ 5:10pm
Fast And Furious and Patriot Act should ensure a genuine early tempo. She's Sensational won't be far away. ADELAIDE ACE (5) is a lightly raced, progressive 3YO. He resumes here having beaten Victoria Derby runner up Southern Moon two starts ago before finishing close up behind the Derby winner Warning prior to a spell. He could be on his way to better races. AASIRA (7) hasn't missed a place second up in three attempts including a win. She caught the eye first up closing late and despite a sharp weight rise she can go close. ARZANI (12) gets the Winkers on and looks suited to 1400m. SELECTION: #5 Adelaide Ace is very easy to like.

Muswellbrook: Race 5 @ 4:20pm
A strong tempo assured with Discombe pinging straight to the front from the inside alley. DISCOMBE (1) fired up in front last start and consequently tired to miss a place over 1350m at the Beaumont track. Will lead again from the inside gate and if he settles might prove too strong for this lineup. DISCO DIVA (11) tried hard but was no match for the winner first up over 1400m at Mudgee. Lightly raced filly with plenty of improvement to come. SUBMISSION (6) wasn't beaten far last start and is an each-way prospect. SELECTION: Very keen on #1 Discombe.
Cowra: Race 6 @ 4:05pm
An abundance of speed engaged in this. EXAGGERATE (6) came up short in town last start. Prior form was faultless. These bush sprints suit him to tea. Not as dynamic at 1200m as he is over 1000m but he's still the one to beat. Gets in with 54kg after the claim and is a winner here in the past. KENNY SUCCEED (7) will need a terrible amount of luck from carpark alley. He's got tremendous early toe but whether he can cross & lead this field is a whole different question. Plenty of freshness in the legs after 50 days off. Keep safe. PARIS IN MAY (13) is relatively lightly-raced. Didn't handle Gosford last start. Ran some good races behind smart horses on the provincial circuit late last year. Not out of this. SELECTION: Sticking with #6 Exaggerate in the Cowra Japan Cup.
Sunshine Coast: Race 6 @ 4:07pm
Let's Cheer again can lead from Molly's Rocking. LET'S CHEER AGAIN (4) seeks the hat-trick following the comfortable CL2 win this track. Comes to peak now and keeps getting better. He may have these well-covered. DREAMSCOPE (2) resumes for a new yard off a win this grade and venue. He's sharp fresh and a bold run is on the cards. MOLLY'S ROCKING (5) gets the rail and can use it. The first-up form reads well and she shouldn't be far away. SELECTION: Keen on #4 Let's Cheer Again.
Stony Creek: Race 6 @ 4:25pm
Black Current can lead from Tugga War. MY CLEMENTINA (12) brings strong to peak. Needs a good ride, but looks very well-placed at the weights given her form this trip in much better company. TUGGA WAR (7) has just missed at this level the last three and is an on-pacer who will get every chance again. BLACKCURRANT (6) just found Pure too good here 22 days ago and is a chance holding that. SELECTION: Happy to be with #12 My Clementina.
Albany: Race 8 @ 8:20pm
Baraki Beats can lead the feature sprint from Saracino and Sir Snugalot. MANKIND (9) was too good here 7 days ago bringing very strong Ascot form. He ran a big career peak in that and will present from the rail with a 1kg weight drop. He's the one to beat. RED PUBLISHER (4) was okay at Pinjarra, but the Ascot near miss prior stands out. A repeat of that gets him close, but McGruddy has to manage a wide gate. CAPTIVATED POINT (7) has come back in good form but needs to find a bit to take this out. SARACINO (3) can improve second-up and would be a hope finding his best. SELECTION: Backing #9 Mankind to go back to back.
