Champion mare Black Caviar should face no more than a “track gallop” when she strives for a third consecutive Lightning Stakes on Saturday.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has the mighty mare as the $1.06 favourite to stretch her career unbeaten run to 23 at Flemington.

“No disrespect to the other runners, but Black Caviar is classes above this field and she should win with ease. Jockey Luke Nolen will have Ascot in the back of his mind, but we expect he will be able to let Black Caviar coast home for a comfortable win,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
Peter Moody trained stablemate Moment Of Change and first-up Moonee Valley winner Shamexpress are next in betting on $13.
