2010 Lightning Stakes Betting

The Group 1 Lightning Stakes, the premier sprint race of the Melbourne autumn carnival will be run this Saturday and there is a great field. Some of the stars of the Spring are back in action for the 1000m race carrying $500,000 in prize money.

There are a number of strong chances, but we’ve narrowed the field down to a few who we fancy. Burdekin Blues is our tip, he should lead on the rail and will be hard to catch. He is a distance specialist winning 5 of 7 at the journey, including a second, plus knows how to win Flemington.

Favourite Starspangledbanner is resuming and has won 2 of 3 first up. This impressive colt was one of the success stories of the spring winning Group 1 Guineas, and has been in the money in every start at the journey. There isn’t much between Wanted and Headway from the Peter Moody stable with both expected to feature prominently. Shellscrape is a tough and underrated colt resuming from a solid spring campaign.
