Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for May 17.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Moe, Goulburn, Port Macquarie and Toowoomba.
MOE: RACE 7 @ 4:00 PMLUNA ONE (8) was very disappointing last start but could have just needed the run as it was his first run in nearly two months. He is backing up within the week this time and a form reversal is expected in this field. On top. MAKTASTIC (5) cleared his maidens easily three starts back and has been about the mark in two runs since. He is dropping back from BM64 level and should find this company more to his liking. Hard to beat. DANLUCA (3) is working his way back into form and appreciated the drop in grade when running fourth last start. All of his three career wins have come on this track and as a winner twice over this distance, he looks well placed to show his best.
SELECTIONS: Luna One win bet.

KEMBLA GRANGE: RACE 4 @ 3:20 PM
PIEROSSA (13) had a few things go wrong on debut but only went down by the narrowest of margins at Canterbury. In-form hoop Clipperton sticks in the saddle and will find this task easier. Sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. CAPTAIN GEORGE (1) has been just behind the placegetters in all three starts to date and strikes a winnable contest here. Looks a serious player. SACRED ALBA (7) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown enough at the trials and any market moves must be respected. The well-related INDIFFERENCE (4) has looked handy in two recent trials and can run a race while fresh. CITRIC (2) best of the rest.
SELECTIONS: Pierossa to win.
PORT MACQUARIE: RACE 6 @ 3:40 PM
DARCI DIVA (5) is fast and won in NZ first-up before missing a lip twice this track heavily-backed. Draws to advantage and is in well with the 2kg claim. The one to beat. DR DEMON (6) races at peak and has been knocking on the door. Has a handy 3kg claim but may need some luck likely settling back from the rails barrier. ROYAL CHARGE (9) needed the first up run on the heavy coming off the CL1 win when he led. Draws to advantage and expect quick improvement. MINIDREAM (10) was plain at Taree but the Maiden win prior on debut was good. Fitter and will go better.
SELECTIONS: Backing Darci Diva to win.
TOOWOOMBA: RACE 1 @ 11:47 AM
MISHANI PERSUASION (1) resumes from a spell after disappointing last start when only beating two runners home in a 16 horse field when 14th over 1200m at Gold Coast. He gets back early but will be coming home strongly, looks the runner to beat. UNDER THE COVERS (2) was well backed last start but could only manage to finish sixth after receiving an early check, forgive that last run and follow up here. PRINCESS MARIAN (3) was well supported when resuming from a spell last start and justified her short odds by scoring easily over 1000m at Wondai. Looks hard to beat again.TEQUILA DANCER (4) disappointed last start when finishing seventh, she is far better than that so expect a better performance today.
SELECTIONS: Mishani Persuasion to win.
