Shepparton Race 4 - Crowbars Demolition Pace
MIKI B NZ (8) is a newcomer to the Alex Ashwood yard from New Zealand. Hasn't raced for four-and-a-half months but looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and is likely to kick off with a strong showing. NORMS LADY (2) produced a better effort last time out when runner-up at this circuit, coming from a back row draw to be beaten by just a head. Well served by this barrier and should be reaching peak fitness so could go one better. SHADES OF MIKI (4) comes right into contention after coming from this barrier to score last start by a neck at Cranbourne. NEW YORKER (9) has been readied for the return with a trial and has yet to miss the top-three in eight tries at this circuit and distance.

Didn't do much last time out, 5th (Sr1) over 1690m at this track, beaten 7 m by Hoorah Philtra (2:03.00) in NR 56 to 64 on October 7 at $23. Before that 8th (Sr2) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 17 m by Golden Tribe (2:00.90) in 0W/15 0K stake on September 27 at $31. Not keen.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Centofellie at this track over 1690m in a NR 56 to 64 on September 23 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Hoorah Philtra at this track over 1690m in a NR 56 to 64 on October 7 at $5. Progressing well. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Last start 9th (Sr2) over 2100m at Charlton, beaten 50 m by Valiente (2:31.10) in NR 55 to 63 on September 29 at $5. At his previous start 5th (Sr2) over 2190m after being wide early at Mildura beaten 6 m by Martyr (2:46.80) in NR 56 to 64 on September 12 at $6.50. This looks a suitable assignment.
