Menangle Race 3 - Neutra-Syrup Nsw Derby Heat 2

Talented colt FIRE AND PASSION (1) brings an impressive strike rate from Queensland and the stable usually has success when travelling. Came from wider to win first-up, his first outing since a Group 1 win at home last August. It should have improved him and he has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw. USYK (3) is two from two this time in, leading to beat older rivals at Wagga last start. That took his career strike rate 50 per cent and he draws to be prominent again. He looks an each way hope as does MESSAGE BANK (9) who cops a wide barrier but will be fitter second-up and showed good ability last season, highlighted by his Group 1 Gold Crown win. SOHO CHARMER (7) won his lone second-up attempt so should be improved by his resuming effort where he came from this barrier for a midfield finish in the Simpson Memorial. YOTTIE (4) is a query having ended his juvenile season with a string of Bathurst wins. Trialling well and has upside.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 5.5 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Riverina Paceway (2:44.00) beating Kosimo in NR up to 80 on February 27 at $2. Hard to leave out on current form. In winning form and the low draw can see him make an impact again.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr10) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Hollywood Strip (1:50.40) in 3yo LR No NR on February 14 at $126.
