Thank You Cfa Volunteers Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

KEAYANG GALLIANO (6) went back last start then worked home in good style to finish 7 metres from the winner in third at Hamilton over 1660m, that effort following a good win at Stawell the run prior. Big chance if anywhere near her best. ALFNALMA (2) finished sixth last start, beaten 12 metres at Melton over 1720m. Has to be respected in this suitable lineup. HEZA DOOZIE (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1660m at Hamilton last time out. Each way claims from the perfect inside draw here. GOODTIME MACH (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.5 metres at Hamilton over 2160m.
