Despite letting punters down in the Lightning Stakes speedster Nature Strip has opened at even money odds for the Group Two Challenge Stakes at Randwick this weekend.
Nature Strip was well beaten as the short priced favourite in the G1 Lightning Stakes last time out but bookies are taking no chances with the star sprinter installing him as the $2.00 favourite for the G2 Challenge Stakes this weekend.
Two time The Everest winner Redzel is on the second line of markets at $4.00 whilst Santa Ana Lane will make his long awaited return to the track where he is at $5.00.
