Prize Money: $1,530

BASEMENT (7) was a last-start winner from the inside at this track and distance (25.80), scoring by one length. Expected to go close again. KRAKEN CHIEF (8) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with five wins and a placing from 12 tries. Missed the frame latest (28.58) when fourth over 500m at Bendigo in a Mix 3/4. Can feature in the finish. AUNTIE AMBER (2) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and two placings from 12 starts. Below best last time at Bendigo (29.18) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. NAVY BLUE BUZZ (1) can measure up with the right run.

Latest effort finished 5th on September 12 over 500m at Bendigo behind Crackerjack Kev beaten 6 lengths (29.18) in a Grade 5. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recently finished 6th over 425m at Bendigo beaten 9 lengths (25.06) behind Magnet Mover in a Grade 5 on September 12. Solid chance with even luck.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing fourth (17.06) at Healesville. Boxed awkwardly and looks safely held.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 525m at The Meadows. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
