Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for March 30.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Canterbury, Sandown-Hillside, Pinjarra Scarpside and Oakbank.
CANTERBURY: RACE 2 @ 2:20 PM
THE ART OF FLYING (6) has done everything but win with four placings from five starts including two at Listed level. Strips fitter second-up and strikes a winnable contest here. Rates the testing material. AIRCRAFTMAN (1) has placed over this track and trip and gets the services of Rawiller in the irons. Looks a major player. The well-related BRECHEN (2) has been good in recent Warwick Farm trials and a market watch is advised on debut. HOLLYWOOD NORTH (3) has placed over this journey and is one for the exotics. SHRILL WHISTLE (4) is another facing the starter the first time but is sure to be well-educated from the astute barn. Respect.
SELECTIONS: The Art Of Flying to win.

SANDOWN-HILLSIDE: RACE 8 @ 6:30 PM
AUSTRATA (14) looks ready to win. Outsprinted from the top of the lane here last time by a good winner. Doubt this is much tougher, if at all, and he finds himself at the bottom of the handicapper now. Looks very dangerous down there. RAPID ACHIEVER (12) was a winner here fresh and sound latest in a hot race. Looks the chief threat. THE NEPHEW (10) has been kept fresh since winning the Tassie Derby and must have a hope here off that. Also off a last start win is TARN'S PRINCE (1) who runs for a yard in form. Fitter and must have a shot at them.
SELECTIONS: Austrata looks the one to be with.
PINJARRA SCARPSIDE: RACE 4 @ 2:54 PM
STRIKE NOW (1) looks to be a very promising type and was a solid runner up last time out. His effort when winning on this course two back was that of a horse that won't be in this grade for long and he looks to have this field at his mercy. KEYTRADE (2) produced a big effort to clear his maiden status on this track two starts back and was then beaten but not disgraced at his next outing in tougher company at Ascot. He has always promised a lot and will be suited to the small field today. Watch closely. BRAVE CONTENDER (5) is a consistent performer and put in his usual honest effort when finishing third most recently at Albany. He has a sound record at the distance and won't be far away. REGAL CITY (4) just missed getting all the chocolates fresh up at Geraldton and should be even sharper for that run. He has been a winner second up in the past and from his perfect inside draw should give his opposition plenty to think about. Include in all multiples.
SELECTIONS: Strike Now win bet.
OAKBANK: RACE 4 @ 3:25 PM
PRINCESS RAFFLES (13) has threatened three times at Listed and Group 3 level and third-up should be ready to fire. Only has to be near best to make short work of this line-up. LIGHT'S VISION (2) trialled well and wasn't beaten far in a strong form race at Hamilton on debut. Draws handy and is sure to have come on. Expecting him to go well. A MIDNIGHT SHADOW (8) has been racing well all campaign. Will likely push forward and back to the sprint shouldn't bother. She's a hope at a price. REBEL LEE (14) is in good hands and will be better for the debit outing. Draws well today and may prove next best.
SELECTIONS: Hard to go past Princess Raffles.
