Shepparton Race 4 - Stephen & Colleen Boyington Mares Pace
MAJOR DRAMA (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in fourth over 1690m at Kilmore. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. MADAM REACTOR (6) finished fifth last start, beaten 9 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1690m. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role again. MIKIS PLEASURE (8) is better than her last-start seventh over 1710m at Ballarat. Worth a second look. ROCK POSTER (4) is the best of the rest after finishing third when resuming from a spell over 2200m at Ballarat last time out.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 1690m after showing early speed at Kilmore was 2nd-2.18 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Ozzie Diamond (2:03.90) in M on October 8 at $12. Leading player.

Resuming after three months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into seventh behind Bettorbythesea at Young over 1720m in a 3yo on July 14 at $21. Likely to measure up.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 2190m at this track was 6th-7.37 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Major Friend (2:43.30) on October 6 at $21. Two runs back 8th (Sr2) over 2160m at Echuca was 4th-6.1 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Beryls Boots (2:43.30) on September 22 at $101. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

Second-up here following a spell. Game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr3) over 2200m at Ballarat, at the bell was 5th-8.42 beaten 4 m by Bella Louise (2:44.60) in M on October 1 at $51. Will make her presence felt.

Last start 9th (Fr2) over 1690m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 45 m by Rom Baro (2:01.40) on October 6 at $61. At the run before 4th (Fr4) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 6th-12.3 beaten 16 m by My Mate Ace (2:40.30) on September 29 at $19. Capable of more than she has shown recently. This looks a suitable assignment.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1690m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was 4th-7.24 beaten 9 m by Rom Baro (2:01.40) on October 6 at $26. At the previous start 9th (Sr2) over 2190m at this track beaten 23 m by My Mate Ace (2:40.30) on September 29 at $31. Ready to find her best.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fourth behind Altius at Kilmore over 1690m last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres second at Ballarat over 2200m in M on October 1. Will be right in the thick of things.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Fr2) over 1710m after showing early speed at Ballarat beaten 80 m by Rockella (2:02.50) on August 19 at $31. The run previous 6th (Fr4) over 2240m at Melton beaten 70 m by Lambro Mach (2:44.70) on August 7 at $51. Expecting a much better run this time.
