Pillow Fight, Jaegers and Stallone to take up the running at a decent tempo. Lightly raced four-year-old CALGA POWER (1) won easily first-up at Gosford then raced on the speed and tried hard but was denied narrowly last start over 1250m at the Kensington track. Maps nicely behind a strong tempo and with a little weight relief this evening courtesy of Osmond's claim he will be tough to hold out. JAEGERS (10) broke her maiden in the most emphatic style last time out over this course and distance, bouncing straight to the lead then running her rivals ragged over the final furlong. Has only been to the races three times so there is plenty more to come. NEESON (5) has recorded two massive wins of late in the Riverina. Yet to be tested at this level but the manner of his last victory at Albury suggests he is a city-grade galloper. UNITED STATES (2) raced greenly and did a fair job to be beaten under two lengths by Plaintiff at Rosehill recently. Very fit now and is a threat back in midweek company. Bjorn Baker's PILLOW FIGHT (4) can play a role first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Calga Power makes plenty of appeal.
