Monday, 18 February 2019: Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for February 18.

Newcastle: Race 6 @ 4.50pm

TA CHANSON returned with a solid run but expect he'll be much improved. Worked home steadily and suited by the extra 100m here. Fitter and looks a top chance to break through. RAAY OF TIME turned in a nice debut when trying to lead throughout before being grabbed late. Rider lost the whip so many have finished closer. Fitter for a trial after a break and expected to take catching here. KHITAAMY is overdue for a win with three seconds at last four runs. Gets chance here. COMMANDER BELL is fitter for a good return but will need a little luck from wide out. Check the betting on the first starter UNFORGETTABLE who has trialled okay. [b]SELECTIONS:[/b] #3 Ta Chanson will go close from #4 and #1.

Ballina: Race 6 @ 5:10pm

KITTEAU resumed from a spell with a fast finishing win here. Drawn for a soft run and will be winding up late again. WALLANDER is ready to win and could even lead now much of the pace has come out. Will give a sight. SHE TELLS LIES is overdue and will be grinding home. AFRICAN ACADEMY is fitter for a trial and can sneak into the finish fresh. [b]SELECTIONS:[/b] #1 Kitteau the one to beat again from #3 and #2.
