2020 BLACK CAVIAR LIGHTNING STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Redzel leads early with Nature Strip allowed to find his feet before pressing on. Hard to look past NATURE STRIP (2) at 1000m and down the straight where he reeled off awesome splits to win the VRC Classic in a canter last time. Huge talent when he is on his game and he invariably is at Flemington. Has looked a Lightning winner from day one and think he will make the most of his chance.

REDZEL (1) did knock him off fresh in the spring and is a Group One winner here. Tough and can make himself hard to beat. Three-year-olds are flying and LOVING GABY (7) may have her supporters due to that. Was no match for Nature Strip here in the spring but ran well. 1000m is probably short of her ideal trip. GYTRASH (4) can run well without surprising, but it would be a shock if he could win it.
