The bitch has won her last three starts in good fashion and Temora trainer Cherryl Bradley hopes a slight injury worry won't stop her bringing up her seventh career victory.
Bradley elected to skip racing on her home track last week, but hopes she has Turtle Dove right for the Holbrook Vet Centre (320m).
"She was a bit sore in one leg so we decided not to run her," Bradley said.
"She is alright now and we have been working on her.
"We gave her a couple of weeks off as she has been going good and there is no need to burn them out."
After winning on debut in November, it took Turtle Dove another 10 starts to get back to winning ways but she has hardly been beaten since.
Breaking her drought in February, she's won five of her last seven races plus a second.
Bradley is thrilled with how she is going.
"She is going good but every race is different," she said.
"You get different dogs, different boxes and I just hope she keeps going alright."
After finishing second behind Turtle Dove in his last two runs Runaway Tommy franked the form with a victory of his own at Temora last week.
Bradley rated him the toughest to beat on Sunday.
"She has been racing at Tommy dog and he won at Temora last week in good time," she said.
"It depends on how they jump as anything can happen in racing but he is her main opposition.
"It is a good race."
He's starts from box six on Sunday, directly inside Turtle Dove.
Bradley also has Raglan Ruby looking to score her first win in the first of 10 races.
She has been placed in three of her five starts and it looking to bounce back after copping early interference last week before finishing second.
"In maidens it is how they get to the turn," Bradley said.
"If she can jump and get to the turn without getting into bother, which is a big thing watching racing, she should go alright.
"At Temora she got poleaxed when she come out of the boxes and that was the end of her."
The first of 10 races starts at 4.56pm.
