Pillow Fight might not get things her own way up front with a few first starters engaged. PILLOW FIGHT (2) tough win on debut, before sent north for a courageous on pace fifth to Autumn Boy over 1400m in the LR Australia Post Stakes at Eagle Farm. Has further improvement to come and the addition of blinkers can do the trick. TOMATO TOASTIE (3) well-bred filly who will keep improving as she gets out in trip. Ploughed through the heavy (10) conditions at her second race start when a dominant winner over 1200m at Warwick Farm. Expected to keep the momentum going. KOKATAHI (6) produced good closing splits on debut when a fast finishing third over 1250m at Canterbury. No match for his stablemate Central Coast on that occasion and will find this trip right in his wheelhouse. Since kept up to the mark with a 900m tick over trial. Gets his chance with the blinkers and tongue tie added. CROSSBOW (4) resumed for his second prep with an eye-catching second over 1250m at Canterbury. Has further improvement to come and will relish this trip and further. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pillow Fight to appreciate the drop in grade.
