Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for January 18.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Wyong, Moe and Wagga.
WYONG: RACE 3 @ 3:05 PM
CURRENCY QUEEN (8) is unlucky to still be a maiden with three consecutive placings and strikes a winnable contest here. Placed over this mile trip last time out and drawn perfectly for Reith in gate two. Rates the testing material. BELLEPLAINE (6) has placed at her past couple and looks to be improving with racing. Rates a top-three conveyance. A REAL RIOT (1) gets 3kg off with the claim and is one for the exotics. COSMIC MISS (7) drops back in trip here and should be hitting the line. AMBER ONE (4) best of the rest from the inside alley.
SELECTIONS: Currency Queen to win.

MOE: RACE 5 @ 3:30 PM
ROSENSTRASSE (4) raced handy and was just pipped first-up and didn't have the best of it. She has more up the sleeve and the lift to the mile suits. Has the handy 2kg claim and fitter should be winning. POLEAXED (3) rates similarly off the 1L defeat first-up and expect him to push over and control the race. He will have come on and will take pegging back. SO HE RULES (2) has been racing in much stronger but has disappointed the last two. Gets some gear switches and back to the mile is likely to suit. A much better effort is anticipated. PINDI PRIDE (6) just missed here this trip and then had excuses in better class. Has the outside barrier but is fully-fit and is in the mix. SARNIA (8) is good enough at best and keep onside.
SELECTIONS: Backing Rosenstrasse to win.
WAGGA: RACE 3 @ 3:20 PM
AURORA FLORENTINA (2) is Sydney-trained and will be improved off the two provincial runs. Didn't have much luck this trip the latest and has more up the sleeve. Wins at best and is ready to find it. LUNAR KISS (8) was tracking well before the plain run at Corowa. Peaks now and Cahill's booking suggest she's pleasing. Finally gets a low gate and is a player. BUBBLER (7) just missed here at 1400m and Penza takes over and can manage the sticky gate. Peaks and can make the finish. SHINY ROCK (4) will use the low gate and has switched barns for his fourth race outing. Gets the blinkers first time and like Hutchings booking. He can keep improving.
SELECTIONS: Backing Aurora Florentina to win.
