Port Pirie Race 5 - Midstate Hardware Trotters Handicap
DAISY BOUCHEA (4) turned in a good effort at her latest run to come from a 10m handicap and get home by a narrow margin at Kapunda, making it two wins from her last four starts. Won her lone attempt at this circuit and distance and looks set to continue her fine form. BROOKIES BABE (3) placed from a tough draw two back then led and delivered last start, getting home by 2.3 metres at Globe Derby. Switches to the standing start but she is capable of making it consecutive wins. OUR SPITFIRE NZ (2) should be close to peaking third up and is looming as a threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at Kapunda. THE VICARS GIRL (1) broke last time but was racing consistently prior and has the talent to make her presence felt.

Capable of better than what we have seen in two runs this prep. Two starts back 6th (FT Fr1) over 2230m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 22 m by Is That A Bid (2:55.70) in NR 49 or better on February 23 at $71. Hard to have on those efforts.
