Geelong Race 9 - Sportsbet Geelong Cup Ht4
VINCENT BALE (4) is looking to continue his winning ways off a superb 29.38 victory at Sandown. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. VAN WYCK (8) is in top form lately including a dominant win at The Meadows in 29.80 two back then backing it up with a 30.04 victory at The Meadows over 525m latest. Flying lately and looks a key chance on that form. AMRON TIGER (7) is better than last start when fourth (25.13) from Box 3 at Shepparton over 450m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with four wins and four minor placings from nine starts. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. SHARAPOVA STAR (6) cannot be overlooked following a recent narrow defeat after leading.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Has ability but needs to find best and others make more appeal.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (25.13) in a Special conditions race, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Box stats strong with four wins and four placings from nine starts. Suited here and expected to run well.

Lines up chasing three wins on end after scoring over 525m at The Meadows in 30.04 last time, set up by a fast early sectional. Looks well placed to make it three straight.
