Menangle Race 2 - Ultra Air Steve Turnbull Christmas Gift Final
WASA HEAT SEEKER (5) made a winning start in Sydney where he had enough gate speed to lead from a wider draw than this before going on to salute by more than 6m at this circuit and distance. Has only been beaten once in seven starts since switching from WA and was a Listed winner in Brisbane two back. He looks bound for better things. Former Kiwi IM THE FALCON (3) made the ideal start in Australia, delivering by 2.4m as a hot favourite at this venue and distance. Looks progressive and draws inside the top pick. That sets up a great clash. ROCKNROLL HAMMER (11) draws deep but he is talented and could be ready to deliver after seconds in both starts since a spell. HY POACTIVE (8) draws wider than when he led for second last time but saluted from a deeper barrier here two back so can make an impact.

Two runs back 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 6 m by Wasa Heat Seeker (1:51.60) in NR up to 95 on November 30 at $61. Unlikely to threaten in this tough assignment.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Albion Park. Last start posted a big 6 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr7) at this track (1:51.60) beating Outside Fighter in NR up to 95 on November 30 at $1.55. Talented pacer who will be tough to stop.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start 2nd (Sr5) over 2525m at Dubbo, beaten a neck by Rouge Bling (3:06.40) in No NR on December 6 at $4. Before that was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Whiskey Cavalier (1:53.80) in NR up to 95 on November 30 at $101. This looks too tough.

Two runs back won by a head as favourite (Fr9) at this track (2:44.50) beating Maebee in 4yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on November 16 at $1.55. Rates highly. Likely to feature again.

Solid run when a close second after a quick start, behind Miki Pins at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on November 23 at $1.35. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Whiskey Cavalier at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on November 30 at $1.45. Draws wide but building in fitness so could be ready to strike.
