Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on September 1
Four TAB meetings are held across Australia on this Tuesday at Moruya, Newcastle, Benalla & Emerald.
Benalla: Race 4 @ 2:30pm
Expecting Moving Day to set a strong early tempo. TELL ME AGAIN (13) returned from a 19-week spell with an eye-catching 2nd last start over 1200m at the Ballarat Synthetic, winding up from next to last on the bend. Will be very hard to hold out over the longer trip. MOVING DAY (8) went to the front in a new role last time out and battled on fairly once headed to clock-in 4th over this distance at the Pakenham Synthetic. Fitter for two runs back and could prove tough to catch. Betting watch on Archie Alexander's first starter ANTHEMIC (10) improved at Cranbourne and didn't have the best of it. He's a player building on that. GIOTTINO (3) draws a good gate for a change and is fitter for two runs back from a long spell. SELECTIONS: #13 Tell Me Again gets the jockey switch to Nolen and can go one better.

Moruya: Race 6 @ 4:20pm
Genuine pace but not-clear cut who leads. SHIPIERRO (12) was heavily-bet winning the Maiden here first-up and the longer sprint suits. She has the speed to manage the wide gate and fitter can take the next step. LADY TYCOON (6) peaks off the two placings this track and the extra 200m won't bother. She's a definite player but will need some luck finding a passage through from the outside gate. GLOBALIZE (9) resumes off a low gate with Loy booked and will be very competitive if presented forward. RENASCENCE (8) is capable and will be better for the two runs for the new yard. Like McDougall's booking and expect quick improvement. SELECTIONS: #12 Shipierro sets up well for this contest and backing to win.
Newcastle: Race 6 @ 4:35pm
Princess Betty is expected to work to the lead at a strong tempo. CENTIMENTAL (2) put the writing on the wall last start when she made significant late ground to get up for 2nd over this course and distance. Cherry-ripe after three runs back from a spell and from the ideal gate looks ready to break through. SPIRITUALITY (10) appreciated the step up in distance last time out when a tidy 3rd on a heavy track over 1200m at Canterbury. Progressive filly who is a big threat with further improvement likely. DISMISSAL (3) has been pretty plain in two runs this time in work. Improved third up last prep to finish 3rd in the G2 Sweet Embrace so a spike in form is on the cards. SALATEEN (8) led and gave a sight but found one better at the end of this trip at Hawkesbury recently. Fitter and worth including. PRINCESS BETTY (7) impressed over 1000m first up and is far more at home over today's journey. SELECTIONS: #2 Centimental is promising and can win a good contest for the leading yard.
Emerald: Race 8 @ 5:20pm
Off the inside draw Tiger Love can show enough dash to find the lead and set a solid tempo. MIRACULOUS (8) led and won at Rockhampton and then came back to this trip the same venue placing at this level. She can push forward and box-seat and gets in light under the race conditions. The one to beat. HAZAR (3) won as favourite at Barcaldine for the new yard and expect that to stack-up. He goes well this course and distance. THE SWELL (11) has been knocking on the door and won't be far away again. MR TINDALL (1) missed a lip at Mackay 3-days ago over a longer sprint and backs-up. He's in the mix from the good gate. ROCKETHEAD (10) has been going well enough to make the first-four. SELECTIONS: #8 Miraculous is well placed and should be winning.
