Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for May 11.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Warwick Farm, Sandown Hillside, Sunshine Coast Poly, Gawler and Pinjarra Scarpside.
WARWICK FARM: RACE 4 @ 2:35 PM
BETHENCOURT (1) was super impressive at Randwick winning in a four length romp and will take a lot of confidence from that outing. Gets a bit of weight relief with Sherry's claim and will be very prominent from the outset. Best figures should see him run well again. GET THE IDEA (3) has placed two from two over this track and trip and looks a genuine top-three candidate. MACH SCHNELL (4) got the job done on the Kenso last time out and can earn some minor money. SO SNEEKY (7) loves this mile journey with three wins and a placing from five attempts and shouldn't be underestimated.
SELECTIONS: Bethencourt to win.
As a FREE Racing and Sports offer, below is the Warwick Farm Computer Card.
SANDOWN-HILLSIDE: RACE 8 @ 4:30 PM
VISINARI (10) led throughout for an easy last start win over 1400m and with Jamie Kah in the saddle looks well poised to repeat the dose. MARIMENKO (19) was narrowly beaten here last start when sent out as the favourite and has solid each-way claims. ORLEANS ROCK (8) is first-up after 26 week spell and ran second when last first-up, can feature in the finish.
SELECTIONS: Visinari to win.
GOLD COAST: RACE 6 @ 3:28 PM
TURN ME OVER (7) seeks the hat-trick for the sharp Waller barn. Likes the heavy and we know he'll see the trip right out. Orman goes back on and and the gelding is nicely placed to extend his winning run. ACCESSORY (1) has been good both runs and has more to give. Needs the longer trip and Callow takes over from the apprentice in a key jockey switch. KIPPAX (3) is back 300m and considerably in class on the latest. Won and just missed the two before and can't be ruled out with a good ride. QUOTANT (4) runs along and also racing well. Has a handy 2kg claim and has to speed to skip over from the wide gate. She may be next best.
SELECTIONS: Backing Turn Me Over.
GAWLER: RACE 7 @ 3:40 PM
VIVALDI'S QUEST (3) kept coming when beaten 1.1 lengths last time in the south east. Extra trip a plus and goes well here. Looks tough to stop. DANCING STREAM (2) was well placed at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago and capitalised, setting the tempo and kicked nicely for a 3.5 lengths win. Has a tricky draw to overcome this time but should give a big sight again. FIGHT FOR FREEDOM (6) finished midfield last start at this track when resuming. Fitter and suited out in trip today. Expecting big improvement. TABLE OF WISDOM (14) resumes today after winning a recent tria. Last campaign returned in a similar race here and found one better so have to include. GARRIRE (8) was safely held at big odds in town latest but is a likely improver this time.
SELECTIONS: Follow up on Vivaldi's Quest.
PINJARRA SCARPSIDE: RACE 7 @ 4:39 PM
REBELZONE (9) is third-up seeking the hat-trick. She keeps the leading hoop and draws for a soft run. Promising type and can take the next step. LIFE FOR A LIFE (5) has placed both runs back for the new barn and they read well. This doesn't look much harder and he has a favourable barrier. THOROGOOD (7) resumed with a comfortable win this grade at Ascot and then went back and placed and it was a good effort. Fitter now and is a player. I'M EUGENE (12) resumes with a 2kg claim and could be the surprise package. Goes fresh and his best figures would have him very competitive. BOURBON BEAU (1) has a wide gate but won the CL5 comfortably and can build on that.
SELECTIONS: Sticking with Rebelzone.
