The mare opened 2016 impressively with a win at Shepparton in the first week of January and gets her chance to bookend the year with a victory on Friday night at Lord's Raceway.
Kimmywho has steadily stepped up in class throughout the year, with her 24 starts producing six wins and eight placings.
The five-year-old returned to racing following a three and a half month break at Lord's Raceway on Christmas Eve, posting a brilliant win.
She has now won three of her last five starts and looks perfectly placed in this race.
Strong opposition is expected from Coimadai Lodge, who followed a nice second in the Wedderburn Trotters Cup with a win at Melton on December 19.
The Graeme Whittle-trained gelding is however yet to win in eight starts at Bendigo, despite three minor placings.
The Bendigo Harness racing Club has framed a nine-race card for its final meeting for the year.
Included is a heat of the VHRSC Provincial Cup in which emerging pacer Rockstar Angel is resuming from a spell and looks the class runner of the field, ahead of Showgun Thomas.
The first race is at 6.13pm.
