Albion Park Race 7 - I H Capital 3yo Open Pace
FIRE AND PASSION (7) backs up after he registered an effortless win at this circuit and distance on Tuesday, working to the front from this barrier before scoring by 11 metres. He can do that again. The recent form BARRACUDA NZ (4) has been hard to fault with a long string of top-two results to his name. Completed a winning hat trick when he led from wider and scored at his latest appearance here, getting home by 3.2 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw so could add to the winning streak. BITE THE EAR MIKE (5) was brave last time out, racing parked but sticking on to finish third at this circuit and distance. Respect along with BENNYDASOOK (2) who has been racing consistently from wider barriers and should enjoy the favours from the ace draw.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 3 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:56.90) beating Bonnies Cam in 3yo+ on October 13 at $1.20 at the bell was leading 3.12. Two runs back won by 2.5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Marburg (2:41.90) beating Queen Lilibet in 3yo+ on October 5 at $1.50 at the bell was leading 0.95. The good draw could see him add to the winning streak.

Good performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fifth behind Barracuda at Marburg over 2200m in a 3yo+ on October 5 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Williams at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ on October 13 at $5.50. Expected to go well again.
