Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on July 17.
Six TAB meetings are held across Australia on this Wednesday at Warwick Farm, Cranbourne, Sunshine Coast, Belmont, Balaklava & Darwin.
Warwick Farm: Race 7 @ 4:20pm
Cosmic Reign and Rare Episode to lock horns early and set up a solid tempo. LIFETIME QUEST (8) flew late and just failed to pick up today's rival Cosmic Reign over this trip at Newcastle when resuming from a 130-day spell last start. Strips fitter today and the booking of Blake Shinn is significant. WORLDLY PLEASURE (6) made it two wins from as many runs this prep when she got home narrowly over 1100m at Canterbury last time out after taking the lead before the bend. Building an impressive record and can win again. Stablemate I AM CAPITAN (4) chased hard but came up just short in a Highway over this journey at Randwick recently. That was his first run in four months so strips fitter today and Bowman takes over from the apprentice. DAME KIRI (11) could add some meat to exotic dividends. SELECTIONS: #8 Lifetime Quest to win the last.

Darwin: Race 1 @ 2:30pm
Moral Outrage may be the one to lead. STREET LIFE (7) has won two of the last three and did it comfortably the latest off the Adelaide metropolitan run. He draws low and clearly rates to go on with it. JACKANORY (1) was in need of it resuming in Open grade and can make quick improvement drawn the rail. BROOKLYN (4) will use the low gate and gets the chance to build on the deserved Open win. QUANTUM DOT (3) didn’t miss by far looking for four straight wins up in trip and is better suited today. He’s also a hope. SELECTIONS: Keen on #7 Street Life.
Cranbourne: Race 8 @ 4:30pm
CAMPOBASSO (8) looks a top chance in an even race. Last start winner down in weights and a strong record around the mile. Should prove hard to beat. CASA DE LAGO (4) is back in trip and back in grade. Will be winding up strongly and the wetter the track the better. MOSCOW RED (15) has pace but looks an each way chance from the draw. NANGAWOOKA (7) can sneak into the finish. SELECTIONS: Sticking with Campobasso.
Sunshine Coast: Race 8 @ 4:38pm
Ten Taubada’s will be prominent from the start. YEAHNAH (14) led and ran out of puff resuming at Doomben as the market suggested he would. She’s sharp second up and won’t have to improve much to go close from the low gate. PINCH MEMORY (3) wasn’t beaten far resuming in stronger, toughing it out from the front. He can make the finish at odds with the extra fitness. ELLA DIVINE (8) brings three placings to the resumption and gets Byrne and the rail. She gets her chance. CHARWAY (2) also has claims. SELECTIONS: This is a tough program. #14 Yeahnah looks a solid way to come home at the each way.
Belmont: Race 5 @ 5:00pm (AEDT)
Gillespie, Perceive and Frosty Bay will all be prominent from the jump. OKINA KURI (1) won well and then didn’t have the best of it making the quinella behind De Andes in stronger. Keeps Pike and he will give him every chance from the low gate on a 7-day return. The one to beat. GILLESPIE (5) missed a lip third up as favourite after a plain run when backed into even-money. He peaks now and has more up the sleeve. ROSEBUSH (2) made good improvement winning the CL3 and is a hope keeping the claim. PERCEIVE (6) will get across to the speed and is an improver who also has claims. SELECTIONS: #1 Okina Kuri looks suited.
