Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for July 13.
Major metropolitan meetings are today held at Randwick, Doomben and Caulfield.
RANDWICK: RACE 5 @ 1:30 PM
DON DIEGO DE VEGA (2) French import from the Neasham yard who came out of the pack late at his Australian debut when a narrow second over 1800m at Rosehill on June 29. Looks to have a ton of upside and can keep improving as he gets out in trip. Maps to get the right run. Group 3 placegetter I'MINTOWIN (1) is fitter after two solid runs back and ready for the 1800m now. Will relish the 2kg claim and has the early speed to get across and take catching. BAKERLOO (4) is racing in career-best form and has a fitness edge over the bulk of these. Back in trip when rocketing from last on the turn for an unlucky second over 1400m at Rosehill on June 29. Should get the trip and not without each-way claims. ASSOCIATE (7) improving gelding who deserves his shot in this company third-up today. Strong late with the 59kg when sixth over 1500m at Rosehill in Highway company on June 29. Big drop in weight and has won over the mile.
SELECTIONS: Don Diego De Vega to win.

DOOMBEN: RACE 7 @ 3:32 PM
WARBY (10) is a half-brother to G1 winner and stallion Captivant and has been right there in all four runs this preparation. Has saluted over this track and trip and gets Duric back on to navigate from the sticky draw. Doesn't want it Heavy but should play a major role in the outcome with any luck in running. ATMOSPHERE (1) returned in winning order and Jones stays in the irons. Strips fitter second-up and deserves serious respect. BROSNAN (16) has placed at Group 1 level in a past life and may run a race while fresh. DEEP RESPECT (13) has won over this course and distance and will be at his peak now. In the mix. IVAN'S HERO (4) will find this easier than recent outings and may earn some minor money.
SELECTIONS: Warby to win.
CAULFIELD: RACE 8 @ 4:15 PM
Small field for the feature. RECOMMENDATION (2) resumes and ran some very credible races last time in. He won a listed race in Sydney and then came to Melbourne and ran third to Veight in the G2 Australia Stakes. 1100m looks his sweet spot and he should take plenty of catching. MORNINGTON GLORY (3) made great strides last preparation, winning a couple of nice benchmark races before two excellent runs at Group level, third in the Oakleigh Plate before a spell the highlight. Will take beating. MRS CHRISSIE (5) is the fit horse who is racing well. Not suited at weight for age but she's quick and will be hard to catch. ASHFORD STREET (1) was just fair last time but is right in the mix on best form. PARTY FOR TWO (7) can run well down from Queensland.
SELECTIONS: Recommendation to win.
