Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for September 09.
Australian thoroughbred TAB meetings are today held at Grafton and Bairnsdale.
GRAFTON: RACE 7 @ 4:25 PM
FRAPPES (6) racing in a rich vein of form and back in trip after sitting on the speed when a gritty second over 1610m here on August 20. Gets the claim again from the low draw and will prove hard to catch. NICKELBACK (2) back in trip on the quick back-up when a dominant 2 len winner win over 1400m at Casino a month ago. Kept fresh and all three wins have come over this distance. Can play a leading role again. WONDERWHEN (1) two runs back have been solid before disappointing when seventh over 1400m in the Casino Cup on August 10. Open to further improvement and races best this course and distance. SMOOTH TORQUE (3) usually races well second-up so can improve on her disappointing run when resuming at Sunshine Coast.
SELECTIONS: Frappes to win.

BAIRNSDALE: RACE 2 @ 1:00 PM
HEAVING (2) has raced twice and finished second twice, beaten by a smart type at Moe over 1217m last time out. Expecting that form to hold up well and from the good draw he looks the one to beat. SACRIFY (4) is a Justify gelding on debut who trialled well enough in Sydney to be a strong factor. DONEGAL BAY (1) is a Star Witness gelding on debut for the Begg yard who should be respected. RAIL TRAIL (3) is an Alabama Express colt on debut for the Freedman yard who ticks a few boxes. Watch the beting.
SELECTIONS: Heaving to win.
