Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for June 04.
Australian thoroughbred TAB meetings are today held at Kembla Grange, Moree, Bendigo and Dalby.
KEMBLA GRANGE: RACE 6 @ 3:40 PM
Tricky race. RUBILACE (1) is a two-start maiden who looks hard to hold out after running a narrow second over 1300m at Warwick Farm on May 8. Can stalk the speed with the claim and prove too good for these. OUR COSMIC BELLE (8) best performance in three starts when motored late over 1400m here with a slick second on May 18. Another trained on the track who will relish the good tempo. SHOW PONY (6) appreciated the extra 200m when she launched late to secure second over 1200m at this track on May 18. Fitter now and among the chances. GOODNIGHT BARLOW (2) trained locally and nice debut when ran on late to secure fourth over 1200m at Moruya over 1200m on April 26. Sure to be strong late.
SELECTIONS: Rubilace to win.

MOREE: RACE 6 @ 4:05 PM
Lightly raced four-year-old CASINO STAGE (6) led and gave a sight before being swamped in the dying stages to finish a close fourth over this distance at Scone 18 days ago. Rock hard fit after two runs back from a break and won't find this assignment as testing. Ready to win again. THE GREAT ARMADA (18) impressed at Narromine two runs back then settled worse than midfield and failed to run on last time over the mile at Tamworth. Capable of a much better performance. KAIHOKO (2) improved sharply last start at the second run of the campaign, boxing on well for a close third over 1400m at Taree. Unproven at this trip but looks ready for another tilt. Distance specialist CHARLOTTING (5) scored with authority in a Class 2 over this journey at Parkes recently. Down in grade but cops 60kgs. Deserves respect. The consistent LAISVAS (8) worked home well to finish runner-up to Charlotting at Parkes 16 days ago. Very effective at this trip and is nicely placed back in a Bm58.
SELECTIONS: Backing Casino Stage.
BENDIGO: RACE 7 @ 4:00 PM
LOOSE ON GIN (7) found more like his best placing at Stawell. He will be fitter again and Yendall will give him every chance from the handy barrier. ALLIBOR (2) won a Group 2 before heading to Hong Kong and he's since returned to the Hayes barn. Has a class edge and presents off a Tatura trial win. McDougall's booking is a decent push for his chances and the late betting will tell plenty. ENZEDDER (1) was an easy Pakenham Maiden winner on debut and four winners have come out of that. He will be naturally improved and has a handy 2kg claim. Keep very safe. CAPITOL QUEEN (9) is in the premier barn and will be better for the solid effort at Mornington. Placed at Canberra prior and has Cartwright's 2kg claim.
SELECTIONS: With Loose On Gin.
DALBY: RACE 3 @ 12:42 PM
SLIPPIN' JIMMY (1) was beaten fresh up in a 100K race on his home track at the Sunshine Coast and since then he has gone back-to-back. He is eyeing up a hat-trick in an easier grade than his last run and with a handy 3-kilo claim he gets to carry the same weight. On top. TYPHOON TIP (3) bounced back into form when finishing third behind the top pick last time out. She is closer to that runner in the weights here and may struggle to turn the tables. She is still worth including in all combinations. CAILIN ALAINN (7) won her maiden fresh up and then failed to fire at Doomben last time out in a much stronger lineup. The step up in journey will suit her and she can make amends at this level. ADIELLA (2) won on debut at Toowoomba as favourite and then flew home late to run third at Ipswich nearly a fortnight ago. The extra furlong is ideal and she can figure in the finish again.
SELECTIONS: Slippin' Jimmy to win.
