Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Moonee Valley, Geelong, Sunshine Coast,  Townsville, Wellington, Albury, Mt Barker and Darwin.

MOONEE VALLEY: RACE 5 @ 8:15 PM

SIRILEO MISS (2) is a high class mare who controlled the race from the outset when a commanding 3.5 len winner over 1600m in the G3 Matron Stakes at Flemington on March 11. Melham sticks and will take plenty of running down again. REVOLUTIONARY MISS (8) takes on the older mares tonight after scoring a well deserved victory in the G2 Kewney Stakes at Flemington over this trip on March 11. At her top now and looks well in on the limit weight. Will be strong late. BARB RAIDER (1) has a good record this track and trip and had to work hard from the gate when a plugging third behind SIRILEO MISS over 1600m in the G3 Matron Stakes at Flemington on March 11. Has excellent third up stats and softer draw helps. CLIFF'S ART (3) is a proven Group mare with sound form over the mile. Sat on the speed and tried right to the line when third in the G3 Aspiration Quality at Randwick over 1600m. Kept up to the mark when second in a recent 1200m trial at Warwick Farm on March 17. Value runner.
SELECTIONS: Sirileo Miss to win.

GEELONG: RACE 7 @ 5:00 PM

BATTAGLIA (8) is speedy but was ridden quietly at Bendigo and spiked his figures beaten a whisker. He hung in from the turn and has a gear addition intended to fix that. It was a good effort and he gets the nod. KERMY (2) is a leader who's been racing in stronger class. Was plainer last time but the lead-up form reads well and he has the low barrier and handy 3kg claim. WUDDZZ (1) resumes with a 4kg claim. He will race over further but missed a whisker here first-up last time over 1700m and keep safe. PERITO MORENO (9) has been around the mark without winning and races at peak with the visors applied the first time. In the mix.
SELECTIONS: Going with Battaglia.

SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 6 @ 8:00 PM

IMMORAL (1) resumes off some decent form and started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1100m at Ipswich so can perform when fresh. Has trialled and has winning claims from the inside stall. ON HOLD (10) resumes after a break of six months. Looking to emulate her debut win over 1000m at this track to kick off last prep. Will strip fitter following a recent trial win. One of the genuine hopes in the race. OUR ROCKETMAN (2) scored here two back then finished third last start over 1000m at this track when he did his best work late, beaten 1.5 lengths. Strong prospects. JUKEBOX GLOW (6) scored a dominant win at Doomben over 1200m at her latest appearance in November. Has won a trial so can make her presence felt.
SELECTIONS: Backing Immoral for a fresh win.

TOWNSVILLE: RACE 5 @ 3:27 PM

MAGNETIC DRIVE (3) is another strong winning chance for the potent Stanley-Taylor linkage. Comes back in grade and measure by the narrow defeat at here this trip two starts ago. CIAO BICKY (2) is a leader who delivered the hat-trick here up to the mile. Sprints today off a 4-week freshen and is a danger. FLAMING TORCH (8) was tracking well before the plainer run at Cairns. Has a stack of weight relief at this level and can't be ruled out. LIGHT FIELD (6) finds easier and showed enough here three back to get some of the money.
SELECTIONS: Going with Magnetic Drive.

ALBURY: RACE 7 @ 4:55 PM

MANKAYAN (1) is a handy type on his day. Chased gamely into the placings last start in the Wangaratta Cup behind Don't Doubt Dory. That form reads well for this contest. Maher & Eustace should have him firing. The one to beat. SUMMERBEEL (8) has come on nicely this campaign, scoring in two of her last three starts. Has plenty of early toe and is drawn to advantage. Boasts a nice record over this journey and is from the smart Waterhouse & Bott partnership. Profiles to run very well. RIYAZAN (3) caught the eye late at Flemington last start when charging up the rails to finish fifth in the G2 Blamey. Is a third-up and looks great value. BELTORO (4) has been ticking along nicely this preparation, scoring another deserved win last start at Morphettville in Listed company. Gets in well at the weights and is drawn well. Rise in trip the only query.
SELECTIONS: Mankayan to win. Saver on Riyazan.

MT BARKER: RACE 3 @ 3:19 PM

DIGITAL MISS (2) has been racing in the City recently and looks well placed in Country grade today. She is likely to get the run of the race from her handy draw and should be hard to beat. DIVINE MERCY (5) is fresh up without the benefit of having had a trial. He might need this outing but should be finding the line strongly. If the gaps come his way then he could figure in the finish at some value. NAUGHTY GOSSIP (6) has started favourite at her last three runs and though she only finished fourth last time out she was less than a length from the winner. She doesn't have to improve by much to be a serious winning contender in this. Include. TALKABOUTYOU (1) won last start at Esperance and drops 3.5kg from last run, rates among the chances again.
SELECTIONS: Digital Miss on top.

DARWIN: RACE 3 @ 4:25 PM

EL MAGNIFICENCE (2) scored by a big margin last start over the track and trip. Has started six times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Expected to measure up. BEL'S BANNER (3) raced below par at her last appearance eight months ago when fifth here. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1100m at this track. Expect her to play a major role. ESCAPED (1) is resuming from a break of ten months for a new stable after finishing tenth over 1300m at Randwick Kensington at his latest outing. Ran sixth in a trial at Wyong over 845m. Generally runs well when fresh with two wins and one minor placings from six runs. Among the leading chances. ADORADANCER (4) was safely held last time out when fifth over 1100m at Alice Springs three-and-a-half months back. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Philip Cole. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
SELECTIONS: Siding with El Magnificence.

WELLINGTON: RACE 6 @ 4:40 PM

WHITE LIAR (12) just missed out by 0.2L at Canberra last time out and will line up in much easier company this time around. Barrier 5 and Aaron Bullock are both good signs and she should be at peak fitness now. She'll prove mighty hard to beat. IN THE ROAD (7) was a good winner in this grade three starts ago at Coonabarabran and backed up that effort last start. Not to be discounted in this field. LOCA (14) is a winner first-up previously and brings QLD form into the mix. Keep safe. FOXSTORM (6) can be in the finish.
SELECTIONS: White Liar on top.
