GOING: G

Sportsbet Feed Handicap 2100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Expecting a strong gallop with Global Eclipse and Takemetothemoon taking up the running over Purler Patch. GLOBAL ECLIPSE (6) has had a few chances this time in but is knocking on the door and finds a nice race. He's finished runner-up at his past three, beaten at Yarra Valley last time out as favourite but gets a significant jockey switch with Ethan Brown going aboard while also dropping in weight. He'll be in the first couple and take catching. SCINTILLANTE (2) is the danger. He's been okay without really threatening this time in, just battling home late when getting too far back. This is winnable, he just needs to settle closer if possible. TAKEMETOTHEMOON (12) battled well to score narrowly last time and can measure up while SPARKLE LINK (11) is ready to find her best form third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Global Eclipse to break through.
