BLACK CAVIAR LIGHTNING RACE DAY, 15 FEB
Results
MIGHTY (8) narrowly on top at the early prices. She ran very well first up at Moonee Valley behind an in-form, speedy mare in Fickle, finding the line strongly for second. Second up last campaign she was fourth in the Listed Lightning Stakes at Morphettville. She should get every chance from the draw for Shinn and can finish over the top. SAMANGU (5) is the obvious danger having won all three starts this time in. She was dominant at Caulfield Heath two back before clinging on at Pakenham in this grade last time. Don't mind her back to 1100m, she'll take plenty of catching. LUNA CAT (1) has placed in both runs back from a spell and looks well placed here down slightly in grade. SHAIME (3) resumes. She's a consistent type who has won in this grade and can figure. CHARMED RUN (4) is a possible improver.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 3rd of 11 at Caulfield Heath Bm74 on December 14 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Grand Larceny carrying 59kg at $6. Second run from a spell got back early 3rd in a small field at Geelong Bm84 on January 4 over 1100m, 2 len behind Title Fighter with 56kg at $5.50. Going well, should be in the finish.
Resuming. Finished off last preparation when last of 14 at this track in the G3 Hkj Club Stakes November 5 over 1400m, 9 len behind Fancify carrying 56kg at $51. When resuming last campaign eighth of 15 at Caulfield Mares-Swp September 21 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Kundalini carrying 57kg at $81. Might find these a touch sharp.
Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation eighth of 13 at Caulfield in the G3 Northwood Plume October 12 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Aviatress carrying 56kg at $26. Previous preparation first-up won by nose Mornington M Bm78 June 10 over 1200m slow track defeating Beour Bay carrying 54kg at $6.50. Suited this grade.
At the latest run eased back early on 6th of 11 at Pakenham Bm74 on December 21 over 1000m, 3 len behind Title Fighter carrying 60kg at $5. The run before that 7th of 9 at Cranbourne Bm70 on November 23 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Harry Got Styles with 59kg at $9. Minor claims.
On a three run winning streak. Last start favourite; won by a nose at Pakenham F&M Bm78 December 21 over 1200m defeating Cheval Chic with 55kg at $2.15. The start before that favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win at Caulfield Heath F&M Bm64 December 4 over 1200m defeating Runaway Statement carrying 59.5kg at $1.40. Flying, will be well fancied again.
Comes here off a 57-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 8 at Moonee Valley F&M Bm70 on November 22 over 1200m, 10 len behind Cleo Cat carrying 60kg at $17. The start before that ran last of 7 at Moonee Valley F&M Bm70 on November 1 over 1200m, 5 len behind Sparkling with 60.5kg at $4.50. Out of form and unlikely to feature.

Previously second-up 4th of 13 at Morphettville in the LR Lightning Stks on July 27 over 1050m, slow going 1.5 len behind Lingani carrying 57kg at $26. Should take plenty of beating.
Dual acceptor. Resuming after a break of three months. Finished off last campaign fifth of 11 at Morphettville 0-68 October 19 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind France's Boy with 53.5kg at $6.50.
