Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for April 5.

Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Hawkesbury, Ballarat and Townsville. 

HAWKESBURY: RACE 4 @ 3:25 PM

A lot to learn here with plenty facing the starter for the first time. CAPTAIN BOND (1) has looked good winning two recent Rosehill trials and is expected to run a very big race on debut. Is clearly the one to beat. COMPELLING TRUTH (3) was a solid third first time at the races and will take a lot of benefit from that experience. In the mix. CZAR (4) is on debut and must be respected from the good barn. CHAIN OF GOLD (2) best of the rest with King in the saddle.
SELECTIONS: Captain Bond to win.

BALLARAT: RACE 7 @ 4:30 PM

I AM ME (11) resumed at Canberra 22 days ago and belted the Maiden bet 8-11. Came off Listed grade and a big Warwick Farm trial win. John Allen rides for the premier yard and fitter she clearly rates the one to beat. NIGHTSTICK (3) won impressively at Ararat on debut and was immediately spelled. Has the rail and is sure to have come on. Looks capable of making the quinella. BELLINI MISS (12) won the Maiden third-up and impressed. Gets the chance to build on that. ALL ABOUT EVE (9) resumes off a Group 3 and has won fresh. The late betting will be interesting.
SELECTIONS: Keen on I Am Me.

TOWNSVILLE: RACE 7 @ 5:27 PM

RAISE DA VIBRATION (9) was much better here the latest comfortably winning the CL1. Stacks right-up in this line-up and he is well-weighted. Expecting him to go on with it. SANCY ROSE (4) has disappointed both starts for the new barn. This is a touch easier than the latest and the back-form is strong. Can feature with 3x winning rider Felix reunited. NEBARAZ (3) is also third-up and go on the 1L defeat here first-up. In the mix along with SHEPHERD OF FIRE (1) who has the scope for sharp improvement second-up.
SELECTIONS: Backing Raise Da Vibration.
