Albion Park Race 3 - 2026 Qbred Breeders Classic - 3Yo Colts & Geldings Heat 1
FIRE AND PASSION (4) did a good job last time over 1660m at this track, finishing second and just 4 metres from the winner. Will enjoy a return to Albion Park where he has registered nine wins from 12 starts. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take care of this line-up. IDEAL BRONSKI (2) resumes from a spell of nine weeks after showing some very good form last campaign, closing it off with a win over 1660m at this circuit. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and is likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. TIMMYTEO (5) is hard to overlook after scoring first-up last start by a neck at this circuit over 1660m. In the mix. JAMES ALFRED (6) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fourth at this venue over 1660m.

Returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Finished off last preparation recording a win by 3 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (1:55.40) beating Major Crunch in 3-4yo NR up to 60 on March 17 at $1.08. Previous preparation first-up won by 3 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (1:55.90) beating Bubba Nay in Up to 3 LTW on January 9 at $1.65. Nicely drawn and should be in the finish.

Three-year-old colt who is showing promise. Good first-up, won by a neck as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr3) held up early, at this track (1:59.20) beating Iam Hugo in 3yo+ wins on May 5 at $1.35. Strips fitter and is worth following up.
