Sportsbet.com.au have left it up to the punters to decide who should be favourite in this years edition of the Black Caviar Lightning. They have opened Deep Field and Lankan Rupee as $2.35 equal favourites.
One is a four time Group One winner with a total prize money of more than 3.5 million and is proven at this level, the other is unbeaten and looking to live up to his hype and prove himself as a Group One horse. You could probably say its the established verses the up and comer. Deep Field did a bit wrong up the straight the only time we saw him at Flemington, but his recent jumpouts have been nothing short of sensational and he runs the times/sectionals of a Group One horse. You know what you’re gonna get with Lankan Rupee and it might just be a case of how good Deep Field is that will decide this race.
Brazen Beau connections will be hoping for a case of the ‘beware of the two horse race’ cliche as he is the only other horse given any chance at $6.50. His terrific win in the Coolmore and recent jumpout behind Deep Field suggest he wont be far away.
