Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for April 7.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Wyong, Goulburn, Kilmore, Pakenham, Dalby and Fannie Bay.
WYONG: RACE 2 @ 1:35 PM
OXFORD VISION (1) is placed to perfection here. Only narrowly went down on debut at Gosford before not being disgraced when third from a wide barrier last time out. Drawn to sit much closer in the run for Hutchings from gate two and looks the one they all have to catch. FROMDUSTWEMUST (7) has had plenty of chances but put in a career-best performance last start when a close-up second at Hawkesbury. Gets 1.5kg off with the claim and will be rock-hard fit for this. Looks a threat. PARTY STOP (2) is having his first run for the new stable and a watch on betting is advised. Can improve from the inside alley. PRIDE OF JIVAGO (9) will strip fitter second-up and can earn a cheque. ALLTHEHILLS (4) best of the rest in a race with only a couple of chances.
SELECTIONS: Oxford Vision to win.

GOULBURN: RACE 2 @ 1:55 PM
FOXTROT BRAVO (1) goes on top here. He was freshened into his last run over 1815 at Wagga and ran well behind In De Summertime, who finished midfield in group three company at Randwick on Saturday. With that run under the belt and up in trip, he looks very hard to beat. LARMOUR (2) is racing very well this time in. She's placed at her last two in this grade, closing well late at both runs. No reason she can't be competitive again. CREDIT CRUNCH (4) will find this easier than last start at Newcastle. Her run prior at this track was sound when running 4th and she can make her presence felt. SO INCISIVE (3) has good early speed and looks ready to step up in trip fourth up.
SELECTIONS: Foxtrot Bravo to win.
KILMORE: RACE 1 @ 1:30 PM
SENEGALIA (8) showed promise at first campaign and returned with a solid effort at Kyneton. All the better for that first-up showing and is expected to give this a shake. BIDAYA (4) produced a fair debut at Werribee then was off a break with a sound performance at Geelong last time. Will be improved by the run and must be respected. PRINCE OF ROME (3) is a son of Snitzel from the mare Palatine Hill that cost $300,000 as a yearling. Has trialled up soundly and is one to watch. HENTY (1) is returning from a break. Didn't show a lot at first campaign but trials prior to racing were solid. Worth keeping an eye on.
SELECTIONS: Back Senegalia to win.
PAKENHAM: RACE 3 @ 6:45 PM
Potentially a strong maiden. ALL SO CLEAR (3) on top. He resumed at this track and distance and ran very well behind a stakes performed filly. He finished last preparation with a strong 4th at Flemington and this looks the perfect race. Should be winning. HOLLYWOOD PARK (6) was well in the market on debut and ran fairly when 5th at Sandown-Hillside last time out. With the race experience under his belt he can improve on his home track. PHERE THE EX (9) resumes at the mile. He is stakes placed over 2200m so obviously has the class to feature if forward enough. LEGATUS (7) closed off soundly over 1400m last start and should be peaking here.
SELECTIONS: All So Clear to win.
DALBY: RACE 7 @ 4:12 PM
MARCADA (10) resumed with the 58 win at Toowoomba for the new barn and is much improved. The longer sprint will suit and fitter she can take the next step. IDLING BY (9) has a similar profile and the first-up win was big after jumping last. Draws low today and is a danger. BLACK WHITTO (2) won first-up and was plainer this grade after starting as equal favourite. Has the winkers on first time and high stable-striker Stewart's is booked. He also shapes as a winning chance. STATIC LIFT (14) has a wide gate but the veteran spiked his figures at Ipswich the latest and won't be far away over further.
SELECTIONS: Marcada each way.
FANNIE BAY: RACE 2 @ 4:13 PM
OBLIGATORY (4) won the 70 and was on-speed beaten a nose after. Uses the rail and fitter can bounce back for the star Todd-Clarke linkage. BLUEANT (5) switched from Queensland and as a big winner first up for the new barn. That stacks right up but note Todd gets off. MIGHTY MURT (3) couldn't keep the wins rolling 19 days ago after mucking the start bet 4-6. Draws well and he can bounce back. VALENTINA STAR (2) comes up from SA on a 26 day return. She's capable and in the mix.
SELECTIONS: Backing Obligatory.
