Menangle Race 4 - Ultra Air Pace
OHOKA DREAM (2) resumes off strong form in Brisbane over the winter, winning three of his last four outings at Albion Park. Owns a strong fresh record and a good draw can see him measure up. REWATCH (8) worked from this barrier and faded last start but should find this easier. Capable three-year-old is a two-time winner at this circuit and distance. Player if things go his way. HOPPALONGPOG (1) has been racing consistently, going under narrowly from this barrier at Bathurst last start. Should enjoy a soft run so can be competitive. IDEAL TIMING (6) draws wider than in last week's second but that added to a series of top-four results so the consistency must be respected. NUGGET ROGERS (3) didn't miss by much last start and draws to play a role again.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Hunter Shannon at Bathurst over 1730m last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres third again at Bathurst same class on September 9. The ace draw can see him competitive again.

Returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Finished off last campaign recording by 11 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Albion Park (1:58.50) beating Take Out in 4yo+ on July 16 at $1.50 at the bell was leading 4.7m on the pegs. Draws well and could make a winning return.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind I Got Chills at this track over 1609m on September 5 at $31. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Outside Fighter at this track over 1609m on September 22 at $3.50. Draws well so can play a role in the finish again.

Showed ability the race before when he won by 1.1 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (1:51.70) beating Ideal Timing in on August 22 at $5.50. From a better draw can play a role.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Bartello at this track over 1609m on September 19 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Saint Crusader at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ on September 26 at $11. Can play a role again.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 2300m, 7 days ago before that was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr8) over 2300m at this track, at the bell was 6th-9.33 beaten 17 m by Quiet Storm (2:42.60) on September 5 at $34. Looking to others.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Loucasso (1:49.90) in 3yo on September 19 at $61. The run before 10th (Fr7) over 2240m at Melton was 6th-8.82 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Most Exciting (2:40.00) in 3yo on September 5 at $51. Draws wide but his best form would see him measure right up.
