MAKYBE DIVA STKS (G2) 1600m Click here for RACE PREVIEW

• First Run: 1948 (Lungi)

• Last 3yo: Acramitis 1954 (only one)

• Last Female: Saleous 1996

• An horrendous pointer to the Spring. Of the last 25 runnings, only 4 official winners have had further success that carnival

• Brilliant record for the inside barriers

• 13 of the past 18 winners of the Makybe Diva Stks have come through the Lawrence (Liston) Stks at Caulfield. Seven of those 13 had finished top-three in the Lawrence. This year's minor placegetters Lights Of Heaven (2nd) and Prince Obama (3rd) feature in the Makybe Diva.

• Almaarad (1989) and Northerly (2002) are the only two Cox Plate winners in the last 25 years to contest the Makybe Diva Stks en route to their Moonee Valley triumph.

• Saturday's G2 feature has been a much better guide to the Caulfield Cup guide than Cox Plate in the last 25 years producing seven winners, whilst five Melbourne Cup winners have come through the Makybe Diva in that period.

• Likely favourite Lights Of Heaven has history against her with no mare winning the Makybe Diva since Saleous in 1996. In addition, the last 12 Makybe Diva Stks winners have all carried single-figure saddlecloth numbers. She carries No 16 on Saturday.

• Damien Oliver is the most successful current jockey in the WFA mile with three wins. He rides the Gai Waterhouse-trained Once Were Wild this year.

• Notable Winners: Shocking, Weekend Hussler, Northerly, Sky Heights, Jeune, Mahogany, Durbridge, Zabeel, Dulcify, Ming Dynasty, Tontonan, Dual Choice, Rain Lover, Tobin Bronze, Light Fingers

Former Craiglee Stks has been first major race run after Cup weights were released. Let's check out the Flemington track and all its stats.
