Albion Park Race 10 - Ultimate Tools 3yo Open Pace
FIRE AND PASSION (1) is taking on a far easier race this time after finishing seventh in a Group One at his latest appearance over 2138m at this track, beaten 16 metres by PURE GRUNT. Drawn well and down sharply in grade so watch for a return to form. RUGGARDS GEE TEE (2) was responsible for a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 2138m at this track on August 18. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. PURE GRUNT (3) saluted a Group One over 2138m at this track last time out to bring up his hat-trick, scoring by a nose. Should enjoy a lovely run and looks a genuine contender again. JAMES ALFRED (6) was just denied by PURE GRUNT at his latest outing in a Group One over 2138m at this track. Proven performer in better company; hard to beat.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Pure Grunt at this track over 2138m in a 3yo G1 on August 22 at $1.50. Performed better the start before where he won by 10 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:32.70) beating Kiki Meister in 3yo on August 14 at $1.04. Drawn favourably and is worth another chance.

Scored at his last two starts. Last start won by a nose (Fr1) at this track (2:28.80) beating James Alfred in 3yo G1 on August 22 at $4.33. Hard to leave out on current form. Likely to run well.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (1:57.80) beating Captain Jazz in 3yo+ on August 20 at $3. Two runs back 4th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track, beaten 5 m by Mullum Ruby (1:57.60) in 3yo+ on August 14 at $4. Prefer to watch at this level.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Pure Grunt at this track over 2138m 3yo G1 last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres second again at this track in 3yo on August 14. Right in the calculations.
