Cranbourne Racing Tips for Friday, November 6th 2026

First race in 15h 42m

We love night racing from Cranbourne, and the 50 Second Challenge is always the most exciting race on the card. The track is currently rated a soft 6, but there are sunny skies predicted on Friday, so the track could firm for a big night of racing in Victoria.

Race 1. (18:15) The Valley at Southside Cranbourne Maiden (1600m)

#11 - Sondera @ $2.40

BET NOW

Chris Waller lines up Sondera, who will attract more attention on race day, so the $2.40 odds should firm.

The three-year-old filly by Stay Inside wasn’t far away when running second at Kyenton last time out, and barrier three is ideal for this race.

We recommend taking the odds, as she could firm to an odds-on quote.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (18:45) Ladbrokes More on Tote Win Maiden (1200m)

#5 - Pocket Watch @ $3.10

BET NOW

Looking to make a winning debut is Pocket Watch, who has shown enough speed at the jumpouts to warrant attention.

The Graeme Begg-trained colt by Tagaloa is bred to be good, and the early support is a good sign for this runner.

Late betting moves will be telling, but he should run well.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (19:15) RSL Poppy Appeal Maiden (1400m)

#1 - Action Point @ $4.20

BET NOW

Looking to improve on a debut eighth is Action Point, who didn’t get all favours in the run at Seymour.

The three-year-old gelding got too far back off the speed before hitting the line well enough, and we’re hoping for a more positive ride.

Barrier five is ideal, and money has come for him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (19:45) McMahon's Dairy Maiden (1400m)

#5 - Seinfeld @ $3.60

BET NOW

Clayton Douglas lines up Seinfeld, who ended last preparation with placings at Seymour and Cranbourne, which is tidy form.

The four-year-old son of King of Comedy shouldn’t take long to win a race this preparation, so we’re happy to stick with him.

We expect his odds to stay around the $3.60 mark on race night.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (20:15) Charter Kick Cramer Handicap (1200m)

#2 - Marswept @ $2.00

BET NOW

Money has come for Marswept to win after looking good last preparation when posting a win at Geelong and a placing at Flemington.

Placing behind Wise Inlaw at Flemington is an excellent form guide for this level of racing, and she should be tough to hold out.

Take the odds before she firms into an odds-on price.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (20:45) Ladbrokes 55 Second Challenge BM70 (955m)

#1 - Mainmankash @ $2.50

BET NOW

We’re picking another favourite to win at Cranbourne, and Mainmankash should give punters a sight.

The five-year-old son of Cliff’s Edge is a four-time winner from nine starts, including three wins on a soft track, and that should take him close.

62kg is a big weight, but he’s capable of handling it.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (21:15) Chef's Hat BM66 (1400m)

#6 - Buzitup @ $12.00

BET NOW

Punters get value odds for Buzitup, who comes off a win at Warrnambool, and that’s a solid enough form guide.

The six-year-old gelding owns three wins and three placings from 13 starts overall, and running on soft tracks doesn’t hurt his chances.

He’s worth backing at the current price.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (21:45) Drummond Golf Handicap (1600m)

#8 - Hedjet @ $3.20

BET NOW

Hedjet showed toughness to win two back, and we didn’t think he did much wrong last time out when fourth at Sale in heavy conditions.

He didn’t enjoy the wet, and racing on a better surface should be right up his alley, hence the money coming for him.

He has been well-backed to score, so consider.

Stake: 1.5 Units
