| Hussler v The Cat in Lightning Stakes |
|
Provided the current heatwave conditions ease in Melbourne tomorrow, we'll all be fortunate enough to witness 2 of Australia's best racehorses go head-to-head in the $500,000 Group 1 Lightning Stakes.
7-time Group 1 winner Weekend Hussler resumes after unsuccessfully trying his hoof as a stayer last spring. The reports on his trackwork have been enormous and Ross McDonald has big plans for the Hussonet gelding this preparation.
Doomben 10,000 winner Apache Cat returns from Hong Kong where he ran a gallant 3rd in 1 of the world's great sprint races. The baldy-faced son of Lion Cavern is looking for back-t0-back wins in this race and should at least have a slight fitness edge on his rival.

Tomorrow's charity bet
We're now punting for a new cause, details of which will appear in the Friday Alert shortly.
Our charity bank balance remains on $1,415.00. At around the $4 available with some (very brave) betting agancies today, we think Apache Cat (Flemington Race 6) looks enormous value in a race with limited winning chances.
