Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on June 17.
Six TAB meetings are held across Australia on this Wednesday at Warwick Farm, Sandown, Ipswich, Belmont, Gawler & Darwin.
Warwick Farm: Race 4 @ 2:35pm
The fresh horse Lewis can probably lead in a race that lacks genuine early pace. Open race despite the field size. HERZEGOVINA (5) continues to race well without winning this prep. Raced fiercely and was crowded early in the straight before closing well to grab 2nd in the Gunnedah Cup at Tamworth last start over today's distance. Despite coming to town this is probably a little easier than recent assignments. Due to break through and loves it wet. REFORMIST (6) wound up late to just miss the placings over 1550m at the Kensington track last time. The race was won by a bolter so it might be a suspect form-line but he is lightly raced and progressing well. LEWIS (3) resumes. Didn't come up last prep so was spelled after just two runs and subsequently gelded. Royally-bred three-year-old who might be ready to shine this prep. LE LUDE (7) and AZARMIN (8) both finished around Reformist at the Kenso last start. Either could win without surprising. SELECTIONS: #5 Herzegovina is a terrific each-way bet at around the $6 mark in early markets.

Sandown: Race 3 @ 1:35pm
Dargo will use the rail and can make the pace over the staying trip. SIGN SEAL DELIVER (6) won at Geelong this distance and then went to the 64 at the same venue and was beaten 1.8L heavily-bet. Four winners have come out of that. Rates very well and Oliver sticks. HIGH EMOCEAN (1) came hard to place as favourite in the 64 and then slipped back in grade and won the 58 as expected. In a leading yard and will keep getting better. MISS HARRIETTE (5) improved at Flemington before winning the 58 as a well-bet favourite on the synthetic. Is on an 8-day return and the 3kg claim brings her right into it. DARGO (4) missed a lip at Sale after being wide, and then was on the speed at 2000m at Flemington and found the grade a bit rich. He may control the race from the rail and just missed as favourite his only go this distance. SELECTIONS: #6 Sign Seal Deliver look a solid wager. The yard is flying.
Belmont: Race 6 @ 5:35pm
Sir Snugalot can lead from the low gate and Turbo Power won't be far away. TURBO POWER (10) can push forward and find a spot on-pace and go on the CL5 win here two back. Had missed a lip at Ascot prior, and prepared to forgive the latest when he peaked late as favourite. Clearly rates the one to beat. FRIAR'S GIFT (4) made a ratings spike missing a lip at Ascot in stronger and three winners have come out of that. Needs a good ride from the 4kg claimer, but gets the chance to break a winning drought. BEAT THE BELL (13) had been around the mark before getting too far back here 11 days ago. Keeps the 4kg claim and she won't be far away. LAVISTARR (12) is a middle distance performer resuming and Pike's booking is a decent push. Has trialled well and no surprise if she's presented ready to rumble this time around. SELECTIONS: #10 Turbo Power is sure to take beating.
