Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for July 22.
Australian thoroughbred TAB meeting are today held at Taree, Moree and Ballarat.
TAREE: RACE 5 @ 3:10 PM
SHOW 'EM HOWL (2) has raced twice this prep, working through the line strongly to just miss the placings both times in Highways over shorter trips. Lightly raced rising four-year-old who is perfectly placed out to this trip third-up. Ready to win. ALBANIAN STAR (7) is now with the Shaun Harvey stable and arrives in fine form with four top-three finishes on the bounce. Those efforts have been on synthetics so she needs to transfer that to the turf, but on face value her form looks like stacking up. Market watch on CHRISTA (3) who hasn't raced for over a year but is very handy when right. Ran a cracking race to finish third in a Class 3 at her only run last prep. No surprise to see her competitive despite the long lay-off. KING SOLEIL (6) and ALL TOO ROSEY (8) have been in work for a long while and finding it hard to break through. This race falls away quite fast so either could fill a placing without surprising.
SELECTIONS: Keen on Show 'Em Howl.

MOREE: RACE 4 @ 2:50 PM
SURREAL ASCOT (2) tough mare racing in career best form. Up in class with the 58.5kg when a slick on pace winner over 1200m at Kilcoy. Will roll forward and prove hard to run down. SUPER SIOUX (7) chasing her third win from her last four outings and gets weight relief with the claim. Given the gun run when asserting her class late to salute in a tight finish over 800m at Narromine. Can slide across from the gate and figure prominently. OCTAVIAN TREASURE (8) struck trouble at the start and got further back than expected when an even sixth over 1000m at Dubbo. Tempo suits and not without each way claims. SOOBOOCO (4) came out fast when up in class for a fading fourth over 1100m at Scone in C3 class. Senior rider engaged and stays in the calculations.
SELECTIONS: Surreal Ascot to win again.
BALLARAT SYNTHETIC: RACE 8 @ 4:30 PM
SAVAMOON (7) is in a leading barn and found more like his best narrowly beaten this track/trip from the speed. He's likely to control the race and keeps the handy 2kg claim. He can go one better. ABSOLUTE SUNSHINE (2) is also in good hands and found one much too good here last time in better grade and also ran the quinella prior behind the same galloper. Has the inside gate today, and he profiles as a danger. EX MACHINA (6) draws out but will push forward. He was a big Maiden winner this track/trip last time and has been kept on the fresh side. RUNWAY RULER (3) likes to run along and improved again when just beaten in a country 64. Disappointed in Adelaide following (vet cleared) and will find this more suitable on a 28-day return. Better suited today and is sure to give a sight.
SELECTIONS: Backing Savamoon.
