Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB thoroughbred meetings on January 26.
Australian thoroughbred TAB meetings are today held at Caulfield, Beaudesert, Bunbury, Kyneton, Murray bridge, Wagga and Warwick farm.
CAULFIELD: RACE 4 @ 2:55 PM
FROST FLOWERS (2) could hardly have impressed any more on debut. She tracked the pace there and put the race away quickly when asked. Draws to land on the back of the leaders again this time for the in-form Jamie Kah and that makes her very appealing. Fellow Flemington winner DOSH (1) was put straight away following her nice spring debut over Cup Week and set for this. Must have a chance, as so must SAASMIT (3) despite the big jump in grade. Clearly a far stiffer test of her talents but she walked in at Murray Bridge and it will be no shock to see her measure up. VIVIANE (10) and TOFFEE STREET (9) have hopes on debut having trialled up nicely.
SELECTIONS: Think Frost Flowers is smart enough to beat these up.
As a FREE Racing and Sports offer, below is the Caulfield Computer Card.
BEAUDESERT: RACE 1 @ 1:50 PM
BOOM SPENDER (1) won well first-up at Eagle Farm and two subsequent runs in town have been solid. Looks well placed in this line up and should get a good run from the draw. Rates highly. ANGELS SHARE (5) scored at Toowoomba three runs back and has followed that up with two placings. Going well and expected to be in the finish. ATLANTIC ROYAL (3) had support and raced on the speed to break maiden status at Ipswich last time. Rises in grade but looks up to the task again. COMFORTABLY NUMB (6) has been around the mark in recent assignments and is worth including in multiples.
SELECTIONS: Back Boom Spender
BUNBURY: RACE 8 @ 4:35 PM
TRADENSIA (4) is promising and ran her best race missing a lip here as favourite. She's drawn to ride the speed again and she's clearly the one to beat with the 3kg claimer going on. SPEEDY MISS (2) won the CL5 here and then improved again beaten 1.7L. Gets a soft run from the rail and the 3kg claim brings her right into it. MAROCCHINO (5) is a Listed performer over longer trips who resumed just beaten this distance. Never got a run at them in that and has to be considered. ENDURING MOMENT (10) has been a round the mark and gets weight relief and Pike first time. Has more to give and keep safe racing and peak fitness.
SELECTIONS: Backing Tradensia to win.
KYNETON: RACE 6 @ 3:46 PM
SIMKIN (1) found a more suitable race at Werribee last start and this one is even more so. Kept on well but beaten by a fancied galloper at Werribee. This is very winnable. CREATIVE HARMONY (5) went ok fresh at the picnics. Has gone ok second-up before. Not without a chance. KING'S HAND (3) can go in with it after placing at Burrumbeet. Has to be included. SEE IT ALL (4) needs to show a bit more and this could be the race. Comes in a trifecta chance. MUTANAASEQ (13) is often thereabouts but might find a few stronger. Include in exotics.
SELECTIONS: Simkin the win.
MURRAY BRIDGE: RACE 8 @ 4:56 PM
TRUMPSTA (4) finished in the money fresh when third at Strathalbyn and should strip fitter. That was first run for new yard after a very long break and was well fancied. Much improved and expected to feature. MAGIC DEE (8) won two back at Strathalbyn and back up quickly here after a disappointing run at Gawler late last week. Shorter trip suits and rates strongly on the run prior. Can atone. VIDUKA (1) has six placings from eight runs this preparation. Long overdue and looks one of the chances. MAGIC REWARD (2) finished in the money last start running third at Penola and sis another long overdue to break through. Can feature again. WICKED WHITT (7) has a wide gate but thereabouts lately and peaks now.
SELECTIONS: Stick with Trumpsta.
WAGGA: RACE 2 @ 1:50 PM
PROPOSE TO ME (1) won on resumption as expect at Canberra and then had no luck there at all heavily-bet in much better grade than she finds today. Keeps the top hoop and should be taking this out with the extra fitness. ZABERFELDIE (4) failed two back at Albury but the Wangaratta form each side of that stacks up. Expect him to be right in the finish. HOT BAHAMA (3) also presents at full fitness and the south coast form reads well. He runs along and will take passing. BENJAMERY (5) won't be far away.
SELECTIONS: Keen on Propose To Me.
WARWICK FARM: RACE 2 @ 3:50 PM
MORE PROPHETS (1) has been brave in two starts since a first-up win here and drops in grade on her last start second at Randwick. Good chance. MARGIE BEE (2) will lead them without too much fuss and if she's allowed to run along on her own can be hard to catch. ZOUMIST (5) has won two from four this time in, both at Gosford, and had a tough run in winning last time. Chance to measure up. MAUI GIRL (3) and JOLIETTE (4) are genuine chances.
SELECTIONS: More Prophets to win. Trifecta 1-2,3,4,5/2,3,4,5.
