A small but top class field of star sprinters faces off in the 2015 Black Caviar Lightning Stakes at Flemington Racecourse on Saturday, a full form guide preview and betting analysis on the season’s latest Group 1 showdown detailed below.
Only six final acceptors make up the field for this year’s $500,000 Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning (1000m), but there is no shortage of talent in the mix for the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival feature.
Two gallopers at different stages of their career are batting for favouritism in the Ladbrokes.com.au Black Caviar Lightning Stakes betting markets.
Winning the war at this stage is the lightly-raced Team Hawkes-trained four-year-old Deep Field.
The Northern Meteor entire is out to prove himself here having won all five of his previous starts but only up to Group 2 company.
He’s first-up here and returns to the track he won over on Victoria Derby Day last November without an official trial but with plenty of support paying $2.30 to win and stamp himself as one of the headline sprinters of the season.
Already well proven is then his main rival Lankan Rupee at $2.40 to post his fifth Group 1 victory.
The Mick Price-trained five-year-old won the Oakleigh Plate – Newmarket Handicap double in Melbourne around this time last year before his TJ Smith Stakes success in Sydney to round out his autumn.
He also won the Manikato Stakes in Melbourne during the spring and was last seen running third to Terravista in the Darley Classic on November 8, his last start conqueror the equal highest rated sprinter in the world along with Lankan Rupee.
The only other real danger according to the bookies is Chris Waller’s Coolmore Stud Stakes winning three-year-old Brazen Beau at $5 to win first-up for the third time in his fourth run when fresh, the colt getting the three kilo advantage over his rivals.
That’s the story the Black Caviar Lightning Stakes odds are telling, but what about the form guide and race history?
Favourites have a 50% strike rate in the past 10 years with five winners, a statistic inflated by Black Caviar’s three straight wins for the punters
