GOING: G

Sportsbet Victoria Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

From the wide alley Globe should cross and lead. Smart mare MISS ARIA (13) hasn't been far away in all three runs this prep. Gets some nice weight relief under today's conditions and the blinkers going might add a bit of spark. KLABEL (15) hasn't won for a while but continues to race well. Stakes placed at this trip two back so must be included in discussions. CHORLTON LANE (3) has been top three at twelve of fourteen runs over this distance. Poor gate is his biggest concern. SUPARAZI (8) finished fifth last start in the Newmarket Handicap over 1200m at Flemington, beaten 4.5 lengths by Joliestar. Must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Klabel each-way.
