Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on August 5.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Kembla Grange, Coffs Harbour, Ipswich and Warranbool.
KEMBLA GRANGE: RACE 3 @ 2:20 PM
LATINO BLEND (4) returns with two trials under her belt. Was beaten 1.4L in the G3 Magic Night Stakes prior to the spell. Draws barrier one with Tommy Berry in the saddle. The one to beat. AMUNGEE (5) was a good Maiden winner fresh before a 1L defeat last time out. Rawiller goes back aboard. Leading chance today. COBIA (3) wasn't far away fresh at Goulburn and was placed second-up last campaign. Gets back onto a good track and won't be far away. CASH REGISTER (2) was a good Maiden winner fresh. Rates well and has to be respected off his latest effort. PAPER DAISY (7) wasn't far away fresh at Wyong and rises in trip today. Is a winner at this course previously. Keep safe.
SELECTIONS: Leaning toward Latino Blend the win.

COFFS HARBOUR: RACE 7 @ 3:50 PM
The feature race of the day, the Coffs Harbour Cup. LUNCIES (2) is a galloper from the Northern Hemisphere who showed enough in his first Australian preparation to suggest he could be winning a race like this. Tuned up for this with a handy Newcastle trial win and looks to have a bit of class on this field. The one to beat. Stablemate ITZ LILY (3) has won over this trip and was very good when second at Randwick last time out. Has to be respected. OPACITY (1) has won three from seven over the mile and will get a gun run from the inside gate. In the mix. CINQUEDEA (5) has been thereabouts in recent efforts and can earn a cheque. WILLO TITTO (4) best of the rest on the back of a last start Doomben victory.
SELECTIONS: Luncies to win.
IPSWICH: RACE 3 @ 3:04 PM
BRILLIANTLY (7) ran along at Eagle Farm on debut and held on for a solid albeit distant placing. Draws to advantage and fitter will be very hard to beat in this line-up. MATILDA GENE (9) won a trial but was only fair resuming to Toowoomba. He has strong figures over a mile and further but fitter is a hope sticking at 1200m. MENSA MAESTRO (10) debuted at Toowoomba and wasn't beaten far. He won't be far away building on that. CANNY CAT (2) will race over further but resumes off a nice trial and a leading hoop rides off a low gate. Elevate him if the money comes.
SELECTIONS: Backing Brilliantly.
WARRNAMBOOL: RACE 5 @ 3:00 PM
RUDHYAR (5) made a big impression winning the Geelong 64 first-up at this trip and seeks the hat-trick for the sharp yard. Keeps Prebble and will take this out holding the form. BOWING (6) missed 1L as favourite after a slow away. Yendall can sit handier today and he's a player reaching peak fitness. TAKE ME NORTH (8) won the Maiden and can build on that at a price. ARCTIC SHOCK (4) resumed in town and needed the run. She's got plenty up the sleeve and can make quick improvement with the blinkers going on.
SELECTIONS: Backing Rudhyar to win.
