Young Race 4 - Australian Hotel Pace
LOCHINVAR COOGEE (3) was outclassed in a Breeders Challenge heat at Bathurst last start but he'll relish the class drop having led and dug deep to win at this circuit and distance prior. Draws to go forward so can bounce back. CAPTAIN TIDS (1) hasn't featured since he won his maiden at Penrith back in June but he has had a series of wide barriers. Much better served by the ace draw so could be a big improver. ONEDARKNIGHT NZ (9) draws on the back row again but came from there when he scored a win here two back. DARKNDUSTY (5) showed improvement for a 1.6m second behind Onedarknight last time. Fitter again third up and returns to the front row.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 1720m at Penrith beaten 45 m by Major Austin (2:04.10) in 3yo on September 3 at $101. The run previous 7th (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed at Newcastle, beaten 40 m by Conciliate (1:54.00) in 3yo on August 21 at $34. Draws the pegs and can bounce back.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fifth behind Judah at Cowra over 1700m on September 13 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind My Ultimate Franco at Cowra over 1700m on September 20 at $8.50. Go well.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Waitandsee at this track over 2100m on August 4 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Onedarknight at this track over 2100m on September 15 at $17. Encouraging effort last time and can improve further.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m fourth behind Village Area at Riverina Paceway over 1740m last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres second at this track over 1720m same class on September 15. Can be in the finish.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Fr6) over 1700m after showing early speed and racing wide at Cowra, beaten 25 m by My Ultimate Franco (2:05.80) on September 20 at $16. Showed ability the run before when he raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 m (Sr3) at Cowra (2:09.40) beating Grant For Lexy in on September 13 at $3.40 at the bell was 2nd-0.9. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Among the chances.
