Ballarat Race 8 - Sportsbet Ballarat Cup Ht5
SHARAPOVA STAR (4) is better than last start when fifth (30.40) from Box 7 at The Meadows over 525m. Goes very well from this draw with six wins and two minor placings from nine starts. Has winning claims on her best figures. ABOVE THEM ALL (8) recorded a win over 450m at Warrnambool in a superb 25.05 last start. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. FEAR THE BEER (7) is progressing well scoring last time out (23.56) at Bendigo and bringing up his 9th career win. Solid winning record at this trip. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. ASTON GUITAR (1) recorded a head win (30.30) in a Mix 3/4 last time at The Meadows. Has four wins already from this draw.
