Shepparton Race 4 - Abbey Turnbull Pace
MIKI B NZ (8) has yet to miss a place in four Australian starts, winning twice. Came from wider on this row to score first up at Swan Hill then finished a neck from the winner in second at Charlton last week. Drawn for a trail and is proven at this circuit and distance. Big chance. MARTYR (9) brings good form from Tasmania where he recorded a hat trick of wins in November. Has had six weeks off but is a two-time winner at this distance. Can measure up. EMMA ROX (1) is flying at present, making it three wins from her last four starts when scoring by 1.3m at Melton last time. Up in grade but the ace draw gives her the chance to keep the ball rolling. INTRUSION (7) draws wide must be respected having made it back-to-back wins by coming from the second line to score here last start.

Four-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Melton both over 1720m. Last start won by 1.3 m when driven back in the field, (Fr3) held up early, at Melton (2:04.50) beating Indi Party Mood in NR up to 55 on January 10 at $5. Has a great overall strike-rate and it is hard to knock winning form.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr4) over 1690m at this track, beaten 11 m by Intrusion (2:00.10) in NR up to 55 on January 17 at $14. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 4 m win (Sr3) at Echuca (2:07.60) beating Line Dance in NR up to 55 on January 1 at $4.60 at the bell was 5th-7.8. Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best form.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr5) over 1690m at this track, beaten 15 m by Chirripo (2:00.60) in NR 56 to 62 on January 6 at $101. Before that was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 2190m at this track, beaten 40 m by Big Sledge Hammer (2:39.30) in NR 55 to 64 on December 23 at $61. Would prefer to see a return to form before recommending.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by a neck (Sr3) at this track (2:00.10) beating Lilstrepo in NR up to 55 on January 17 at $15. Hard to leave out on current form. Looms as a serious threat again.
