Prize Money: $1,530

CANYA IGNITE (5) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Healesville over 350m behind Hollywood Franky (20.10) in a Special conditions Veteran race. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MAJOR SHIRAZ (8) was in the minors two back (24.27) at Bendigo but ran below best last time at Ballarat, finishing 6th. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Better than last start and can bounce back. DEB CABANG (4) last appeared when too good (24.49) over 425m at Bendigo on May 16. Has not been seen since finishing third (24.49) over 425m at Bendigo on May 16. Solid record here winning two races. This looks easier and expected to run well. PAW OPPA (1) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at Ballarat over 390m (22.51) beating Ollie Reiko in Grade 5 on October 5. Capable of a good showing.

Back from a five months spell and last resumed over 425m at Bendigo where she was in the placings, finishing third. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 6th in a Special conditions Veteran race on October 4 over 350m at Healesville behind Hollywood Franky beaten 6 lengths (20.10). Capable of a strong show.

Was out of placings last time (24.27) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 31 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Tough line-up and may struggle.
