Menangle Race 8 - Ultra Air Pace (Brian Hancock Championship Heat 4)
MIKI PINS (7) made a winning start for new trainer Jason Grimson when he came from a similar barrier to this and raced parked but toughed it out at this circuit and distance. Beat a handy one there and he looks capable of going through his grades. MAJOR JELLIS (6) was a big improver when second-up here last week, coming from a wider barrier when beaten just over a metre into third. He can take another step forward. HE AINT FAKIN (3) has placed in both starts at Bathurst since a long layoff and races very well third-up with two wins and a placing from three attempts. Building nicely and can progress again aided by a good draw. CAPTAINS CATCH (5) worked when fresh but should strip fitter so is capable of improvement.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Jilliby Nitro at this track over 2300m in a 5 0K/5 Starts on November 9 at $81. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Sahara Sirocco at this track over 2300m in a NR up to 80 on November 23 at $5. Fitter again and rates as a player.
