CANYA IGNITE (5) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in a Grade 5 at Shepparton over 390m. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. CANDY POPS (2) was a winner (22.37) at Shepparton two back but out of the placings last time when 7th there. Cannot be taken lightly. HARTLAND BONNIE (4) was in winning form two back (22.07) at Shepparton but ran below best last time there, finishing 8th. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Key player if finds best. PELICAN'S SUNDAY (7) is among the chances again if he runs up to the latest effort.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished seventh over 500m at this track, beaten 9 lengths (29.15) behind Olympia Onyx in a Grade 5 on August 19. Draws the rail but this will test.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 2.75 lengths at Shepparton (22.07) beating Dim Sim Ollie in a Grade 5 on September 2. Has claims on best form.

Looks close to another win after his success on August 12 at this track over 425m. Last start was second over 390m in 22.30, behind Soda Swan. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Shepparton over 450m in 25.76 last start, beating Got A Scan. In winning form and can measure up again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at Warrnambool. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
