Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Randwick, Moonee Valley, Walcha, Sunshine Coast, Townsville, Port Lincoln and Esperance.

RANDWICK KENSINGTON: RACE 2 @ 4:00 PM

PARISAL (9) had two runs in her maiden campaign, finishing second on debut before a sound effort in the LR Reginald Allen Quality Hcp at Randwick. She's won both trials leading into this, draws well and gets McDonald on. Should be going close. DAKOTA VROOM (4) is a filly by I Am Invincible and out of the dam Catchy. She was an expensive $1,200,000 purchase and has trialled well enough to be considered a winning chance. TANGLEWOOD (3) tried hard on debut at Wyong over 1000m, finishing third. Should be better for the outing and has claims. LA PITTRICE (7) is a Caravaggio filly who has had plenty of trial experience and is worth keeping an eye on.
SELECTIONS: Parisal to win.

MOONEE VALLEY: RACE 8 @ 9:45 PM

ELITE ICON (1) is at his top now and indicated a win was close after racing on the speed with the 60kg when third last start over 1100m at Sandown-Hillside on January 11. Has excellent starts this track and trip and should be able to get in with cover from the draw. Hard to beat. HOLYMANZ (10) resumes after running a creditable seventh in the Sandown Guineas 1600m Grp 2 at Caulfield on November 26. Winkers come off for return and rates highly here fresh after two strong jump outs. Big watch. TRUE NOBILITY (7) has returned in good shape this preparation and looked good second up when a soft winner over 1100m at Hamilton on January 17. Drops in weight and gets every chance to run the 1200m out tonight. SHE'S BOOMING (12) saves her best for this track and trip and will relish the solid tempo. Oliver sticks and draws to stalk the speed.
SELECTIONS: Elite Icon to win.

WALCHA: RACE 4 @ 2:59 PM

BULLS BLOOD (1) is ready to make his return and has his first start for S C Jones. Has been gelded during his spell and has since been a dominant Tamworth trial winner. Looks to have turned the page with the ultimate gear change. Booking of leading hoop Aaron Bullock a big push for his chances. OCTOBER REVOLUTION (3) looked close to a win before a disappointing last start outing. Rates well on best figures and an improved run should see him fighting out the finish. LANKS (11) has chased solidly to the line in his last two, beaten narrowly in both. Has enough early dash to offset the wide draw and race prominently. VOCATION (4) has been unlucky not to get off the mark in his last two. Drawn to advantage and should be in this for a long way.
SELECTIONS: Bulls Blood to win.

SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 6 @ 8:38 PM

GAP YEAR (6) hit the line well to be beaten 2.2L last start over 1350m at Doomben when first up from a spell. Fitter and is suited stepping up in distance today. Has good upside and looks a strong winning chance. MILLENNIUM JEWEL (7) recorded a third successive placing last time when third over 1650m at Beaudesert. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and is one of the contenders. KABOOM (8) placed two back and was beaten only 1.6L last time over 1400m at this track. Not to be underestimated. SHE'S ENUFF (10) is also in the mix.
SELECTIONS: Backing Gap Year for a second-up win.

TOWNSVILLE: RACE 4 @ 2:38 PM

KICK ON COMMAND (1) won as easily as the jockey wanted to fresh up at Rockhampton and will only improve further with that effort under his belt. He should have no trouble working his way through the grades campaign and looks to have this field at his mercy. COCO CUBER (4) indicated that a return to form is not far away when finishing on late last time out, albeit ending up in ninth place. He has no problem with a wet track but most notably he gets top hoop Justin P Stanley in the irons for the first time and he could coax that bit extra out of him where it matters most. Include in all multiples. BROADWATER (5) is racing consistently and finished third here at long odds last time out. He has a superior draw today and should be thereabouts. BOLD ZIP (9) finished near the rear last start but was only just over three lengths from the winner. He will be looking to settle a lot closer today and if the track is not too rain affected then he is capable of finishing into the money.
SELECTIONS: Kick On Command to win.

PORT LINCOLN: RACE 9 @ 6:53 PM

CLASSY BANNER (2) put the writing on the wall when coming with a strong run late to finish fifth at Gawler last time out. The extra distance today is ideal and he should be peaking third up. He should notice the drop in class here and with a touch of luck from the wide draw he is capable of taking this out. PERFECT ZED (8) has been close up at her last five starts and was devoid of luck most recently at Oakbank. She has a much better draw today and should be right in the finish at nice each-way value. GOODARCHIE (3) was placed here twice prior to scoring back to back wins at the local picnic meetings. He has not missed a cheque on this track in four starts, including two wins, and he should continue with his good run of form in this suitable assignment.
SELECTIONS: Classy Banner to win.

ESPERANCE: RACE 7 @ 5:30 PM

MARKET STRYKE (1) was narrowly beaten when heavily backed here last start, he has recorded three wins from 12 starts this prep and on that last start performance looks tough to beat. WARZACHANTZ (4) has very strong form at this track and looks close to another victory following a last start fourth when sent out as the favourite. Can atone in this line-up. MAGIC WILL REIGN (2) was well supported but ran below his best last start when coming from the back of the field to finish fifth. Resumes from a spell and will be ready to fire fresh-up, include in exotic bets. DAWN AMNESTY (13) ran a solid race to hit the line hard to finish third over 1100m here last start after racing keenly through the early and middle stages of the race. If she can settle better today should be finishing in the top-three.
SELECTIONS: Market Stryke to win
