Albion Park Race 7 - 2026 Qbred Breeders Classic - 3Yo Colts & Geldings Heat 3
FIGHT FOR VICTORY (2) is taking on a far easier race this time after finishing fourth in a Group One at his latest appearance over 1660m at this track, beaten 12 metres by Fire And Passion. Drawn well so a first-up win is on the cards. BENNYDASOOK (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last five starts, most recently recording a third over 1660m here. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up so he can add to the impressive recent efforts. PURE GRUNT (8) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1660m at this circuit last time out. Top-three candidate. NITRATOR (7) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1660m at this course.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m third behind Sitting On Eight at this track over 1660m 3yo No NR last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres second at this track over 2138m same class on May 5. Deserves a win and gets his chance from an inside draw.

Comes here second-up after eight weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr2) over 1780m after showing early speed at Redcliffe beaten 16 m by Highnmighty (2:10.00) in 3yo No NR on March 26 at $16. This looks a far sterner task.

Solid performance when a close second after showing early speed, behind Dublin City Rambla at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo No NR on May 1 at $1.65. Then a handy effort when a close second behind King Bling at Redcliffe over 1780m in a NR up to 52 on May 13 at $2.50. Continues to race well and deserves to break through.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track, beaten 11 m by Always B Cool (1:56.30) in 2-3yo+ wins on May 12 at $12. Showed ability the run before when he won by 5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:35.30) beating Bennydasook in 3yo No NR on May 5 at $1.65. Capable of playing a major role.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1780m at Redcliffe, beaten 14 m by Miki Moo (2:09.10) in Up to 3 LTW on May 13 at $13. Two runs back won by a nose when quickly away, (Fr1) at Redcliffe (2:11.60) beating Ucancallme Al in Up to 3 LTW on April 29 at $6.50. Will find this too tough.
