Albion Park Race 8 - Burwood Stud 3yo Feature
FIRE AND PASSION (1) is back in peak form having put three wins together at this circuit. Has overcame much wider barriers in each of those wins and should enjoy a lovely run from the ace draw. That gives him every chance to deliver again. MOVE IT LOU NZ (4) led from this barrier and fought well to miss narrowly as runner-up when resuming last start, beaten a head. Has won when second-up before so should be improved. Could challenge. BITE THE EAR MIKE (8) landed a hat trick of wins at this circuit earlier in his campaign and could be close to another success after placing in his last three outings, the last two behind FIRE AND PASSION. Draws to stalk him tonight. ALWAYSBJOY NZ (6) came from the back row for third when resuming at Marburg. Draws wide but should strip fitter and strikes at 50 per cent here.

Comes here in the right form. Came from midfield and won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:55.60) beating Bite The Ear Mike in 3yo on October 31 at $1.15 at the bell was leading 0.43. Two runs back posted a big 5.5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (2:30.10) beating Bite The Ear Mike in 3yo on October 24 at $1.55 at the bell was leading 2.14. Racing in great heart and the ace draw gives him every chance to deliver again.

Second up after running surrendered the lead and finished 2nd (Fr1) over 2138m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 2nd-8.32 beaten 4.5 m by Magic Miki (2:31.60) in 3yo+ on November 10 at $9.50. Will strip fitter but place best in this line-up.

Having her second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 2200m after racing wide at Marburg was 3rd-1.91 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Fitzroy (2:41.20) in 3yo+ on November 8 at $2.40. Fitter so may find the frame again.

Good performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second behind Fire And Passion at this track over 2138m in a 3yo on October 24 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Fire And Passion at this track over 1660m in a 3yo on October 31 at $13. Can continue the consistent form.
