Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for June 3.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Pakenham , Sunshine Coast, Dubbo, Wagga and Rockhampton.
PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC: RACE 2 @ 1:30 PM
PRIDE OF GALWAY (4) improved sharply last start when lining up for only the second time, finding the line with purpose to be beaten just half a length over 1200m here on the turf. Can box-seat from gate one and the step up to 1400m is perfect. RUBIROCK (5) continues to race well without really threatening. Boxed on evenly but just lacked a turn of foot when fourth over 1500m at Cranbourne last time out. The addition of winkers might hold the key. Honest and worth another chance. RUPERT'S DELIGHT (6) lines up for the 20th time. Handy all the way when a well-beaten runner-up over this trip at Cranbourne last Friday. Doing plenty of racing but can't break through. Each-way option. TEMPESTARII (12) went to the lead in a new role last start but weakened at the end of 1400m at Pakenham and missed a placing. Fitter now and despite a tricky draw is not out of contention. TALLU (7) returned in good order as a gelding last time. Open to plenty of improvement.
SELECTIONS: Keen on #4 Pride Of Galway.

DUBBO: RACE 7 @ 2:45 PM
MOJO CLASSIC (5) has joined the Scott Singleton yard since his 2L defeat at Hawkesbury a month ago. He trialled well at Scone recently, and he'll find this much easier than what he's been up against. Expecting him to shed the maiden tag. MCLELLAN (4) faces the 1600m journey for the first time, but it appears to suit after being relatively one-paced in his latest outings. He races well here though and he's sure to go close. ELEGANT POETESS (10) has been knocking on the door her past two, going down by under a length on both occasions. The draw is a bit sticky, but if she gets any luck she'll take plenty of beating on her recent form. COOP'S (2) gets out to a favourable trip now and is drawn well for Van Overmeire. Worth keeping safe. CRISTALINO (9) wasn't bad fresh, despite being beaten a long way. Gets Bullock in the saddle and must be respected.
SELECTIONS: Mojo Classic appears the one to beat.
ROCKHAMPTON: RACE 4 @ 12:42 PM
BARNEY'S BLAZE (1) is a Victorian who ventures north with compelling form. Has just been beaten the last four in city and provincial races and has been freshened 49 days. Wiggins' booking suggests he's pleasing. WENEIRI (3) is in a leading barn and has plenty of ability. Will be better for the two runs back in better class. Fradd is reunited and he should be right in the finish. BRAZETTI (4) is also third-up and has switched yards. She has more to give and will ride the speed from the low barrier. Whether she runs out the longer sprint is the query. REAL HUSSEY (2) next best benefiting from the 3kg claim.
SELECTIONS: Backing Barney's Blaze.
SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 7 @ 7:00 PM
BULLOO (8) has placed at Eagle Farm both runs this preparation Had come off a Group 1 over a middle distance and is suited up to the mile. He's capable of using the rail and fitter is likely to have these covered. SEDUCTION QUEEN (9) switched from a Sydney barn and the first up outing. She'd been well-trialled and can improve sharply at the mile. Thompson replaces the apprentice and expect him to push forward. RAGING POLE (3) has had one blip in a string of close-up efforts. Will settle back but can finish on into a placing. FACTORY WARRIOR (1) and RHYME TIME (6) are both going well enough to consider.
SELECTIONS: Backing Bulloo to win.
WAGGA: RACE 4 @ 1:50 PM
AVVERTIMENTO (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in four of five overall outings and this is a very winnable contest. Will be at peak fitness now and should be handy in the run. Sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. CELLAR CHAMP (2) looked good last time out when a handy second at Albury and drawn to get a soft run from gate three. Rates highly. FIL (4) resumes here but showed enough when last in work to warrant consideration in this. One for the multiples. RED REDEMPTION (6) has placed two from four overall and can earn a cheque.
SELECTIONS: Avvertimento to win.
