February 15 - The recent winner of the Coolmore Lightning Stakes, Apache Cat is one of the many top class racehorses in the field for the Timbercorp Australia Stakes to be held at Moonee Valley this coming Saturday.

Apache Cat is going for the win in an attempt to become only the 4th horse ever to win the Lightning Stakes/Timbercorp Australia Stakes double. Miss Andretti, the renowned sprinter managed this feat in 2007.

Other top horses going for gold in the Timbercorp Australia Stakes include Gai Waterhouse and Dance Hero. This will be Dance Hero's first race since he finished last at Randwick racecourse in December last year.

The fabulous Miss Finland is also in the running as is Let Go Thommo. Let Go Thommo who is in-form recently won the Essendon Mazda Carlyon Stakes.

Tan Tat De Lago, the little chestnut will be hoping for a win too. She has won 5 of her 7 starts, her biggest win being the Danehill Stakes at Flemington racecourse last year. She will be ridden by Luke Nolen who won the Tattersalls Cox Plate last year.

Our pick to win it all is LET GO THOMMO, who has to be worth an each way punt in what looks like a competitive sprint.

This is the first Group 1 race to be held at Moonee Valley this year.
