BANDIT BARBIE (2) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (26.16) in a Grade 4/5 at Geelong latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Look for sharp improvement here. BOOTERSTOWN (3) was crowded for room and fell this course and distance last time. Should be in this for a long way. WARRIOR ETHAN (1) ran a good time (29.10) when placing three back at Sale but has missed the frame since, last time out finishing fourth (29.51) at Sale. Can turn it around this time. WINCKIE BALE (4) cannot be underestimated.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at Sale, the latest when beaten 5.5 lengths behind Midnight Thunder over 510m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (26.20) over 460m at Warragul. Has a squeeze box to navigate but in the mix on her best form.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by one length at Warragul (26.00) beating Pay The Reg in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on February 5. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Surprised two starts back at Warragul to win by a head in 26.10, beating Lenora James. Last start finished 6th on February 26 over 515m at this track behind Off The Beer beaten 10 lengths (30.48) in a Grade 5. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
