Prize Money: $1,530

WHIRLWIND NISEKO (5) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at Shepparton over 390m behind Tipsy Tilly (23.51) in a T3 Grade 7. Has ability and is a key runner. MISS BARBIE (7) last start finished 5th in a T3 Grade 7 on February 12 over 390m at Shepparton behind Tipsy Tilly beaten 5.5 lengths (23.25). Rates a key chance on best figures. WONDERFUL GIRL (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Shepparton over 390m behind Paw Ingrid (23.10) in a T3 Grade 6. Comes through a solid form race last start. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. BAKALI SURPRISE (4) should be thereabouts.

Backs up after winning by a nose at Healesville (20.17) beating Highgate Franky in a T3 RSTW on February 13 five days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.

Missed the frame when eighth (32.57) at Ballarat at last run and returns here after a 11 weeks break. Yet to win but has placed from two first-up runs. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.
