Black Caviar Lightning Stakes Form Guide & Tips
1. Private Eye (Best Each Way – $6)
Private Eye is good enough to handle this field, and the 11-time winner was too good for them fresh up last preparation.
He owns four wins from seven fresh up starts, so he has every chance of being too speedy down the Flemington straight.
2. The Astrologist ($46)
He’s past his best, and we don’t think he has the speed needed to keep up with this field.
His three wins down the straight haven’t come recently, so we’re not entertaining his odds.
3. Bella Nipotina ($6.50)
A classy mare on her day, despite having yet to win at Flemington from eight attempts.
That’s the biggest thing going against the seven-time winner, but she has been confidently backed after opening at $12.
We’re not leaving her out of calculations.
4. Imperatriz (Best Bet – $1.80)
Arguably the best sprinter in Australasia after winning all four starts last campaign, Imperatriz is the obvious bet.
The Kiwi mare is a champion after posting 17 wins and three placing from 23 starts, which is an incredible record at the elite level.
Barrier two with Opie Bosson riding is fine, and she should justify her short odds.
5. Espiona ($20)
If they go quickly up front, Espiona is good enough to figure in the finish with a last burst.
The Chris Waller-trained mare is a proven fresh up winner, and punters get good each-way odds.
She’s a first four chance.
6. Rich Fortune ($151)
We don’t give Rich Fortune much chance of winning at this level.
She’s not a genuine Group 1 performer, and she should struggle to keep up.
7. Cylinder (Best Roughie – $10)
We don’t mind the odds for the colt, who we think is a better chance than I Am Unstoppable.
The James Cummings-trained three-year-old didn’t fire last time out, but he was tired after a long campaign.
This should be more up his alley.
8. I Am Unstoppable ($7.50)
Second at Group 1 level last time out, which should be a good form guide.
Consistent, and there has been more money for him than Cylinder in the three-year-old ranks.
He goes into the mix as a trifecta and first four chance.
