Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for September 04.
Australian thoroughbred TAB meetings are today held at Warwick Farm, Sandown, Belmont, Sunshine Coast and Murray Bridge.
WARWICK FARM: RACE 5 @ 3:45 PM
BONITA QUEEN (3) was backed off the map and was never in doubt last start against the mares over this course and distance, leading by a big margin early and maintaining the advantage. Goes up 1kgs against the boys but if she reproduces that last effort she should get the cash again. PARTY DOLL (6) closed well but was no match for Headwall over 1000m at the Kensington track last time out. Honest mare who won't mind the extra 100m and is a chance down in the weights. GLOBAL EMPIRE (4) went back from a wide draw and struggled to make an impression at his latest appearance over 1000m at this track. Will race closer from the inside alley and can make his presence felt. TWO YA GOT (1) didn't fire last start when returning from over a year in the paddock. The winner of 3/5 at this trip so worth another chance back in midweek company with the run under the belt. ROMEO'S CHOICE (2) resumes. Goes well fresh and has been in the top three 4/5 at this distance.
SELECTIONS: Bonita Queen to win.

SANDOWN-HILLSIDE: RACE 5 @ 2:45 PM
PHARARI (3) is a talented mare off a short spell here. She was last seen starting $2.10 favourite in the Listed Creswick Stakes behind Right To Party. Her two wins prior were excellent, and she's trialled very well. Should be winning this. HONOR GALORE (5) was good first up off a fairly long spell when racing on speed, only going down narrowly in third. Fitter for that and has the ability. MIGHTY (4) struggled at Caulfield last start but had been coming along well prior and can bounce back. CUTE AS (1) could be an improver.
SELECTIONS: Pharari to win.
BELMONT PARK: RACE 3 @ 4:59 PM
LORD SHIVA (7) was improving through the grades last campaign before a disappointing run to end the preparation. He's trialled very well in readiness for today and the gear changes suggest he's a more mature commodity now. Still plenty of improvement to come and he can go to the next level now. HEZANGELIC (2) only has the one run last campaign when beaten over this trip at Ascot and was sent straight back to the paddock. He has trialled nicely in late August and the booking of Pike suggests he's back on track. Right in this if he's at this best. AHYEAHRIGHTO (4) trialled behind Lord Shiva recently and Brad Parnham sticks from the lead-up trial. He was a good winner on debut last campaign and he's expected to put his best foot forward from a favourable alley. ACHICI VUOLEMALE (3) resumes again today after ending last campaign on a good note. Worth thought despite no public trial. EMPRESS OF INDIA (5) goes well fresh and is worth including.
SELECTIONS: Backing Lord Shiva.
SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 3 @ 1:43 PM
SEBRING GIRL (3) missed a whisker here and at Doomben in an 80 following over this distance. Maps for a soft run and the 3kg claimer switches back aboard. She's the one to beat. TYNDRUM GOLD (4) was only beaten 1.7L at Ipswich and held that form narrowly beaten on the poly track. The former UK galloper is right up to this at best and maps for the run of the race. O'MISS BEHAVING (6) also returns to the turf and should be ready to show her best. She'll carry just 52kg with the claim bringing her into it. ULTIMATE OUTCOME (7) was an easy 58 winner on the poly and he has turf form this distance range that would see him very competitive. Down in the weights he has to be kept safe.
SELECTIONS: Backing Sebring Girl.
MURRAY BRIDGE: RACE 3 @ 1:50 PM
HYPERNOVA (4) battled on gamely into a midfield finish in town last start. The form from the race has stuck up superbly in 25 days with three subsequent winners. Peaking now and looks the one to beat. CINCHONA (8) returns for the sharp Clarken & O'Shea partnership. Has shown glimpses of ability in her two runs and could be ready to go on with it now. Will pay to watch what the late money thinks. THE CREED (7) finds the maiden win elusive but has shown some positive signs. Comes through the same race as Hypernova. Keeping safe. HISWAY (3) is another that returns and warrants safe keeping on best figures.
SELECTIONS: Hypernova to win.
