The experienced reinsman has a long association with the Pacers Cup, having won it in 1986.
White's father ran second in the first ever cup back in 1969 on the horse Second Raid - owned by Keith Duck.
"There's hardly been a year I haven't been in it (the Pacers Cup)," White said.
Acknowledging it would be nice to win again, White said the cup was a tough race which attracted some of the best.
Things could be in his favour with Hollywood Sign winning his first two starts after returning from a spell.
"He's an honest horse ... he'll go well, but it's a very hard race to win," he said.
"I've won a lot of heats and run a few placings in the final but only won the one," White said.
White won't be the only local running in the $14,000 Pacers Cup with Bruce Harpley driving Sokys Big Bullet to the track.
Sokys Big Bullet has only had one start from a break but is expected to be improved from the run.
Meanwhile, Temora Pacers Cup winner Modern Max will be among the field driven by Old Junee reinsman Adam Jenkins and owned by Marrar's Brian McKelvie.
The Monster Plant Sale City versus Country Invitational Drivers Challenge has attracted some attention from around the country.
Among them are World Drivers Championship competitor Chris Alford who will be joined by New Zealand's Anthony Butt, former Riverina reinsman Nathan Jack, Tasmania's Josh Duggan and Victoria's Daryl Douglas.
Last year's winner Bruce Harpley will be joined by Riverina drivers Steve Maguire, Bill Trembath, Shane Hallcroft and David Moran.
Together with the Allan Harpley Memorial Free For All, Phyllis Harpley Memorial Three Year Old and Milbrae Quarries Pace, it should be another big night for the Junee Harness Racing Club.
Aside from the equine action, spectators will be entertained by Griffith singers Duble after the last race, with the bar extending its closing time.
A free jumping castle will be available for children to enjoy.
The first race is at 6.47pm on Sunday January 25.
