BLACK CAVIAR LIGHTNING RACE DAY, 17 FEB
Results
KIN (4) hasn't won here but has run some good races and will be very hard to hold out here. She's a frustrating type given her pattern but has been close up in some strong races this time in. If she runs to that level here she should prove hardest to beat. SANS DOUTE (2) bolted away here over 1000m last start and will have no issue with the extra 100m now. Should be able to go on with it. A LITTLE DEEP (1) was a tough winner last start at Moonee Valley when wide but coming away as favourite. Racing in great form and looks a great chance again. PRAIRIE FLOWER (7) was just even last time at listed level but was very consistent around this level prior and can figure. LUNA CAT (5) won narrowly here last time and could measure up.
