Ballarat Race 7 - Sportsbet Final

WARIO (5) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including two wins. Scored by 7 lengths last time (22.13) in a Grade 5 H over 390m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. SIMPLY STYLISH (6) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.43 beating MIA COCO. Must be included in calculations. MADE UP STORIES (1) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 0.8 lengths (22.49) behind BUTTERFLIES LAD at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from three starts. Bold showing expected. MIA COCO (2) hit the frame here last start so don't underestimate.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 390m at this track in a handy (22.52), beating My Gracie. Will find this a bit tougher, doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Far too good last start to win by 7 lengths at this track over 390m (22.13) beating Roscoe Bale in Grade 5 H on July 9. Was in the money two on end before breaking through last start. Stick with him.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around this track over 390m in 22.43, claiming a Grade 5 H by 2.5 lengths. Has a superb 22.08 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
