Caulfield Race 7 - Sportsbet Might And Power (G1)
Field of six for the Might And Power but there's quality at the top. At the prices, BIRDMAN (1) looks some chance of upsetting the very short favourite SHEZA ALIBI (6). BIRDMAN was awesome winning the G1 Underwood here last time, mowing down Cosmic Crusader who has since bolted in with the G1 Turnbull. He's established himself as a genuine weight-for-age star and he has the turn of foot to serve it right up to the favourite. No doubt SHEZA ALIBI is the one to beat. She's a world class mare who dominated the G1 Makybe Diva second up with an electric change of gear. First try at 2000m but can't see it posing an issue. $1.35 in early betting gives you an indication of the regard she's held in and realistically she should still be too good. TREASURETHE MOMENT (5) was better in the Feehan last time and looks the most likely 3rd placegetter from KINGSWOOD (4) who will be on speed and is racing very well, he can take a bit of running down.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up got back early 6th of 12 in the G1 Memsie Stakes at this track on August 29 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Beiwacht with 59kg at $61. Second run from a spell won by 1.75 len in the G1 Underwood Stakes at this track on September 19 over 1800m defeating Cosmic Crusader with 59kg at $6. Has proven himself as one of the country's best and he's a genuine hope of knocking off the mare.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up got back early 10th of 15 in a Hcp at Flemington on September 12 over 1700m, 6 len behind St Lawrence carrying 59.5kg at $18. Second-up 11th of 13 in the G3 JRA Cup at this track on September 27 over 2000m, 9 len behind Royal Supremacy carrying 56.5kg at $12. Will find these too sharp.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up came from midfield and won by 0.8 len in a LR Heatherlie Stakes at this track on August 29 over 1700m on a rain affected track defeating Just Folk carrying 61kg at $21. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 in the G1 Underwood Stakes at this track on September 19 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Birdman with 59kg at $16. Going well, can sit on speed and give a kick.

Last start 2nd in a small field in the G2 John F Feehan Stakes at this track on September 27 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Pride Of Jenni carrying 57kg at $8. The race before that raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 10 in the G1 Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington on September 12 over 1600m, 9 len behind Sheza Alibi with 57kg at $13. Better last time and looks a likely candidate for third.
