Australian thoroughbred TAB meetings are today held at Tuncurry and Pakenhem.

TUNCURRY: RACE 4 @ 2:45 PM

COOL DUKE (3) kept his perfect record intact when he led all the way and easily took out a Class 1 over 1250m at Taree last start, beating some of today's key rivals. Nicely in after the claim so with a bit of luck getting over from the wide gate he is the one to beat again. SO YOU SUGGEST (10) blew the start and was never a factor last time out in the race won by Cool Duke at Taree. Showed ability in her other two runs so if she gets away with them expect a bit more today. RUN RORY RUN (7) returns from a 16-week spell for a new stable. Has won three races, all at today's trip. Draws well and the blinkers go on for the first time. Watch the betting closely. HEIR APPARENT (2) ran second to an in-form galloper at the Beaumont track most recently. Very fit after three runs back so don't rule him out. Hard to knock PEE DEE (4) on the back of three straight wins.
SELECTIONS: Cool Duke to continue his winning ways.

PAKENHAM: RACE 2 @ 5:45 PM

ANGLAND (3) could not have been more impressive strolling to an easy win here on debut a fortnight ago. Rises in grade this time but looks up to the task. Expected to go close again. REPRISAL (4) returns from a break. Rounded out last preparation competing against some handy performers. Suited here fresh and is expected to run well. RACKEMANN (1) is coming off a break. Looked good winning maiden at Sandown two starts back then had cardiac arrhythmia last time at Pakenham and was spelled. Certainly one to watch fresh. TRUFFLE FINDER (6) can improve after finishing well behind a smart one first up.
SELECTIONS: Back Angland to win.
