G1 Black Caviar Lightning Stakes

Superstar sprinter but is he at his best this trip? Won two races last prep, one of them at Gr 1 level. Is brilliant first up too. Resumes here, will be back early but will be charging home.

What a revelation he proved to be last campaign. Resumes here and is unbeaten first up. Did win a Gr 1 last prep racing on speed and that will help here with all these back markers. Not as impressive at this track though having never won in 3 starts. Place.

Top class Gr 1 winning mare who didn’t really show up last prep. Sits off pace and when she is on song, can charge late. Resumes here and has had 2 solid jump outs. Not overly keen though until she finds form again.

On track to be the best sprinter in the land. Has had a couple of jump outs to prep him for this. Last run of last prep was his best when he stormed home to win the Gr 1 Coolmore in fast time over 1200m. Tends to take a run or 2 to produce his best but is so good he may just go bang here anyway. Big show.

Hmmmm. Enigmatic galloper. Won in track record time at Rosehill last prep over 1400m thrashing superstar Tempted, then was a strong 4th to Tentyris in the Gr 1 Coolmore. Resumes here and is an on pacer so he must be given a great hope.

Could be the one to beat. Is exceptional and unbeaten while fresh. Sits on pace and sustains that speed. Won the Gr 1 Golden Slipper as a youngster and trialling very, very well. That on pace ability is a blessing in this. Big show.

Interesting. Unbeaten this trip. Goes well this track and last start was responsible for an astonishing finishing burst to grab 2nd coming from a mile back in the Gr 1 Coolmore over 1200m. Won recent trial and market should be closely watched.

Classy filly but may be a length or so inferior to this crack field. Beaten in an easier race last start. Not keen.
