Geelong Race 8 - Sportsbet Geelong Cup Ht4
SPARRING (5) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (29.84) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 520m. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. The hardest to beat again. KEEP ROLLING (2) comes here after rocketing around The Meadows over 525m in 29.68, claiming a Grade 5 by 5 lengths. Has the ability and looks a key chance. PAW ULTRA (1) produced a modest effort most recently when eighth at Warrnambool over 390m behind Fear The Beer (22.52) in a Free For All. Key player if finds best. CHAMPLAIN (7) is worth some thought after showing speed and filling a placing last start.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (22.52) in a Free For All, finishing a 6 length eighth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and seven places from 13 starts. Looks a leading chance.

Backs up after winning by half a length at Bendigo (27.75) beating Impress Moana in a Special conditions race on April 5 five days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 5.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a brilliant 22.38 for the 400m trip. Harder here but worth including in multiples.
