Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for April 2.

Major metropolitan meetings are today held at Randwick, Eagle Farm, Morphettville and Ascot.

RANDWICK: RACE 7 @ 3:55 PM

HITOTSU (1) returned in great order last start when taking out the Group 1 Australian Guineas. Since kept fresh and this has always been the main target. An unconventional preparation for most but this stable is breaking the rules of late. Just has to handle the conditions as he's clearly got these covered on class. REGAL LION (5) was hard to miss late at Newcastle on Monday when strong through the line behind Character. McDonald now legs aboard and he looms as the main danger on the quick back up. FORGOT YOU (3) was outclassed in the Rosehill Guineas but this is more his go. The blinkers come off and if able to settle early he has to be included in the main chances. CHARACTER (8) was given a 15/10 ride by Tommy Berry on Monday when winning the Tulloch Stakes. Well set up on the quick back up and no reason to think he won't run well again.
SELECTIONS: Hard to go past the class of Hitotsu.

ASCOT: RACE 4 @ 2:19 PM

SON OF A GOD (1) found his best again last start when leading all the way and winning with plenty in hand. The extra 100 metres to travel today should pose no problems and he looks to have this field at his mercy. COMING AROUND (2) could not get near the top selection last start but does meet that galloper better off at the weights this time around. It may not be enough to turn the tables but he should finish closer. Include. DOM TO SHOOT (3) finished fourth behind the top selection last time out and should appreciate the step up to a mile for this assignment. He is seldom out of the money on this track and looks a solid place hope again. BRUCE ALMIGHTY (6) got closest to the top selection last start and looks to be racing for the minor money again.
SELECTIONS: Son Of A God win bet.

EAGLE FARM: RACE 1 @ 11:53 AM

SAYL (2) won two in a row including a dominant performance over this distance at Doomben then came back in trip but closed strongly to be beaten 2L last start. The step back up in journey suits and he looks hard to hold out. SAVVY OAK (5) has worked his way back into form, digging deep for a win at this venue last time. Usually races well at this shorter trip. Big chance again. CHOCOLATIER (3) has had a series of close-up efforts and gave a sight after leading last start. Can be involved again. OSTERMEIER (4) and LUNASNIT (9) both had good form before the last outing so could bounce back.
SELECTIONS: Sayl to relish the step up in trip.

MORPHETTVILLE: RACE 5 @ 2:37 PM

HOPON HARRY (1) should get a lovely run in this and be the one to beat. He will want further than 1200m in time but he ran into a nice horse last outing. Improvement will have him closer too. JAAZEB (2) will be better out in ground today. He also finds a softer gate. SOMEWATT FABULOUS (8) is getting closer with each run. Must have done well to be backing up. FONSALETTE (6) has been well favoured in recent outings. Runs off a freshen up too. KNIGHTSTOWN (3) took on some high class in the Spring. Can lift more now. SELECTIONS: Hopon Harry to win.
