As has been the case quite often recently, is there really any point in writing a preview for this race? It looks a procession for BLACK CAVIAR, especially at the weights. $1.04 looks awfully generous. She should emerge with a record of 21 wins from 21 starts after today ahead of her overseas sojourn. And while the great people of Adelaide get to see the mare in all her glory today, I’m much more excited about her next race – the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Form Guide

I’ll be trackside in my final couple of days over in Europe – talk about saving the best until last!!! Anyway, unless something goes drastically wrong, she wins easily. Trying to play the exotics is the hard part.

I reckon one of Mark Kavanagh’s runners should nab a place, if not both – I’d probably have WE’RE GONNA ROCK ahead of CATAPULTED.

For fourth, I might go with STIRLING GROVE. But really, expect a procession! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – it is an absolute honour and a privilege to watch her go around. Enjoy it while it lasts.
