Menangle Race 3 - Ultra Air Pace (New Years Gift Heat 2)

BAINBRIDGE (3) has been terrific so far this campaign, kicking off with back-to-back wins at this circuit before leading from wider and fighting on for second to a smart one last start. Building a handy record here and can take advantage of the low draw so looks tough to stop. MAJOR HOT (6) showed something like his Queensland Derby-winning form when improving plenty third-up here last start, racing three wide without cover but digging deep to go under by a neck. He is heading the right way now. SHEZ THE REASON (8) draws out but was brave in scoring fresh at Goulburn after racing three deep without cover and has won two of three previous second-up attempts. VINKE B (9) is another drawn deep but did well to come from the back row to win first-up at Penrith.
