WHISTLEFIELD (8) wound up strongly last time out to finish one length adrift in third over 5½f at Bendigo when fresh from a break. Can go on with it. TORNADO'S SISTER (10) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Terang, most recently beaten 1.5 lengths into second over 5f at Stony Creek when she was prominent throughout. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge. SNAPPY SECRET (2) has not appeared since he finished seventh over 6½f at Seymour on August 17. Definite top-three chance. LADY NEGRONI (7) was a winner over 6f at Great Western last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by 0.8 lengths. Worth including.
