Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for March 09.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Tamworth, Echuca, Sunshine Coast, Albany, Canberra, Stony Creek and Clare.
TAMWORTH: RACE 6 @ 4:05 PM
SHINE YOUR LIGHT (14) classy filly at her peak now fourth-up. Taken back from the inside gate and never got into the race when last of eight over 1200m at Canterbury on February 23. This is much easier and can return to winning form. DEION (2) first-up after three months tracked the speed when a gritty neck winner over 1000m at Dubbo on February 18. Has upside and looks ready for this tougher assignment. BONJOUR RUPERT (1) disappointed in the heavy (9) going when a poor sixth over 1280m at Muswellbrook on February 19. Go on Highway run two back when assessing his chances. Maps to get the right run. SHIPSHAPE (5) returning from a spell of four-and-a-half months and having his first run for the R J Jackson. Placed at Randwick Kensington last November and has first-up form. Minor money prospect.
SELECTIONS: Shine Your Light to win.

ECHUCA: RACE 4 @ 12:15 PM
GANGITANO (2) was just fair first up at Sandown-Lakeside but will find this easier and did show good levels of talent prior. He ran third at Flemington in a 3yo Bm70 second up last time in and while he might not find that level again, he won't need to to be winning this. IMPENDING SHADOW (4) has had two runs back this campaign, improving nicely second up at Ballarat when third. Should be ready to peak here and will take beating. COMMUNICATION (5) has also placed at their last two runs, finishing third at Albury last time out. Will give a sight. ADD MILK (3) next best.
SELECTIONS: Gangitano to win.TAMWORTH: RACE 6 @ 4:05 PM
ALBANY: RACE 3 @ 2:45 PM
STAR POWER (4) wasn't too far off them when resuming and the form she showed when last in work was good enough to feature in a race like this. Has placed two from three when second-up and should be right there when the whips are cracking. AMERICAN THIGHS (6) has been thereabouts in both starts to date and will be near her peak now third time at the races. Expected to play a major role in the outcome. JOHNNY WAFFLES (3) was too bad to be true last time out and is worth another chance in this line-up. I'M THAT GIRL (8) has drawn low for Parham and will appreciate the drop in grade. Top-three credentials. SANCTIONS (5) next in line.
SELECTIONS: Star Power to break through.
