Albion Park Race 1 - 2026 Qbred Triad - 3yo Colts & Geldings Heat 1 (Sky 2)
FIRE AND PASSION (2) was only 4.5 metres from Palladium in sixth last time in the Group One Derby over 2680m at this track. Ideally drawn and can make amends in this far easier race. BENNYDASOOK (8) had been racing in great heart then kept the ball rolling last start when he scored by a head over 1660m at this track. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating once more. BITE THE EAR MIKE (9) is better than his last-start tenth over 2138m at this track. KIKI MEISTER (1) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 1609m at Menangle two-and-a-half weeks ago.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m sixth behind Palladium at this track over 2680m 3yo G1 last start. Before that was beaten a nose second again at this track over 2138m in on July 2. Expected to go well from the gun draw and back from doing plenty in the Derby.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 2138m at this track beaten 22 m by Stripes (2:35.00) in 3yo+ on August 4 at $13. Two runs back 5th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track beaten 9 m by Beachbabe Crocker (1:55.80) in 3yo on July 28 at $11. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 10th (Fr7) over 2138m at this track beaten 10 m by Vincheska (2:35.50) in 3yo+ on August 6 at $6. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.5 m (Sr1) at this track (2:31.00) beating Beachbabe Crocker in on June 25 at $6.50. Better than last start and definitely worth another chance.
