Leading Melbourne trainer Peter Moody will launch a three-pronged attack on Saturday's Lightning Stakes in an attempt to snare his third Group One of the season.

Headway, Wanted and new stable acquisition Duporth all trialled at Caulfield last Tuesday and Moody said they were progressing well towards their first-up assignment against the likes of American sprinter Cannonball, Caulfield Guineas winner Starspangledbanner, Galaxy winner Nicconi and Queensland star Burdekin Blues.

"They are all in good shape and I'm happy with the condition of all three horses," Moody said of his Lightning aspirants.

"Duporth is a new addition to the stable and we're learning about him all the time. He's a big, boisterous lad and certainly knows he's an entire."

Steven Arnold, who rode Duporth in his trial at Caulfield last week, will ride the former Anthony Cummings-trained galloper in the Lightning.

Arnold won the Lightning (1000m) on Spinning Hill in 2002 and Scenic Blast (2009).

"He (Arnold) was impressed with the way he went, he did everything nicely but showed a tendency not to like the softish ground which was bordering on slow after the rain we had," Moody said of Duporth.

"Headway and Wanted were adept in the conditions and I think they've gone on nicely since the spring.

"Headway has done the job already being a Group One winner and Wanted is chasing one of those."

Moody and stable jockey Luke Nolen had a Group One double at Flemington on Derby Day with Headway in the Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) and Typhoon Tracy in the Meyer Classic (1600m).

"Headway hasn't been out of a place at 1200 metres so she's probably the one who will be strong to the line in the Lightning," said the trainer.

"She is certainly deserving of a chance in it whereas Wanted is probably more adept at the 1000 metres," Moody said.

Fastnet Rock colt Wanted has been placed in three of five starts for Moody including a last-start second to All Silent in the Group One Patinack Farm Stakes (1200m) at Flemington on November 7.

Duporth, winner of the Group One BTC Cup (1200m) at Doomben last May, has struck Moody more as a 1400 to 1600 metre horse without having yet raced for his new stable.

Dual Group One winner Typhoon Tracy, who trialled "very well" at Caulfield last Tuesday, is set to chase further glory at the highest level first up in the C F Orr Stakes (1400m) on February 13 and in the Futurity Stakes (1600m) on February 27, both at Caulfield.
