Today's Horse Racing Tips - 12th December 2021
Racing and Sports highlight out standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for December 12.
Australian thoroughbred TAB meetings today are held at Bendigo, Tamworth, Canberra, the Sunshine Coast, Bodrtown and Pinjarra.
BORDERTOWN: RACE 2 @ 1:45PM SAINT KITTS (3) had good form in NSW and is making his local debut here. He has performed well at two recent trials., gets the blinkers added and he looks the one to beat. KEETTOM (9) is a long time maiden but on occasion has looked as though a win is not beyond him, he is on a quick back up and gets a light weight after a 2kg apprentice claim. Include in all multiples. CHROMIUM (7) is fresh up and has raced in better fields than what he meets here, in saying that he has also had many chances without success. Watch for him late at odds. HASTY (6) was fourth prior to going for a spell and should have matured over the break. He looked forward when having a quiet recent trial and a big effort would come as no surprise. Each way in a fairly average field.
SELECTIONS: Saint Kitts win.

Bordertown Computer Card Dec. 12
CANBERRA: RACE 2 @ 1:55PM BET RED (1) wasn't beaten far first-up on the heavy and has missed 1.5L since at Hawkesbury and Warwick Farm. They read well for this but the 1.5kg claimer will need some luck managing the rails barrier. CALL ME ARTIE (3) is up to this but has been struggling to find his best. Will find this easier than Rosehill and is worth a look on the 8-day return. BALONNE (2) has been around the mark in tougher races than this during his preparation and although he has to lug the big weight he has strong claims. WOULD BE KING (9) was good at Gundagai two back before disappointing at Queanbeyan latest. He can bounce back.
SELECTIONS: Going with Bet Red.
BENDIGO: RACE 5 @ 3:10PM TILL IT'S OVER (6) is lightly raced and progressing nicely. She has the form having finished close up behind the talented Groovy Kinda Love two starts ago before looking like she needed this trip last start when leveling out near the post behind Zacada. She's found the right race and looks ready to win. THINK MORE (1) was an easy winner last start on the Heavy but his form prior on firmer footing is sound and he's in with a good chance again. Keep safe. DON'T MAKE ME WAIT (4) drops in weight from his last start and is drawn well again. One for multiples.
SELECTIONS: Till It's Over is ready to win.
PINJARRA: RACE 6 @ 3:30PM SOCKOFF (5) had trialled well leading into her fresh up run but maybe got a bit far back in a much stronger field. She would have improved with that effort under her belt and looks very well placed in this. Very hard to beat. BEAUTY IN ME (4) thoroughly deserved her last start win after posting two good placings leading up to that run. The drop is trip should be no problem and from the good draw should settle close to the speed. This next grade shouldn't hold her for long. PAEROA LAD (2) did not find much when called upon last start and a better guide to his form is the third placing at his prior start. He looks suited here and can turn his last start form right around without surprising. STORY BOOK (6) is another that didn't back up after finishing a promising second placing fresh up but should be given another chance as she is a winner at her only run on this course. She should settle close to the pace and should be included in all multiples.
SELECTIONS: Sockoff win bet.
SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 7 @ 4:10PM BULLION BOY (4) bolted in to win on debut last start at Ipswich and has since finished second in a trial. Looks a smart type and it's hard to see him beaten. SHE'S AT REGATTA (13) resumed from a spell at Doomben last start and finished a four length third over 1050m. Has won second-up previously and will find the competition here slightly easier than her last start. SHNITTY (15) had little luck when resuming last start at this track when finishing ninth of 14 runners after she raced four-wide early and then lost a plate. Has won previously second-up so is well worth considering. AVENUE OF STARS (1) hasn't missed a beat so far this campaign and is expected to be around the mark once again.
SELECTIONS: Bullion Boy looks the bet of the day
TAMWORTH: RACE 6 @ 4:10PM ICE IN VANCOUVER (10) has been racing in much harder company and will appreciate the sharp drop in grade here. Is one from one over this track and trip and strips fitter third-up from the spell. Draws the rails and gets some weight relief with the claim. Is clearly the one to beat. VERTICAL (14) resumes here and has won first-up before. The form he showed when last in work was good enough to warrant consideration in this. TORO TORO (1) bounced back to form last time out and has a bit of class about him. Can earn a cheque. CASSY'S SISTER (5) loves this circuit with two wins and three placings from seven starts and is a must for the multiples.
SELECTIONS: Ice In Vancouver to win.
