Globe’s (NZ) (Charm Spirit) racetrack return looks firmly on track after resuming with an impressive jumpout performance at Cranbourne on Monday morning.
A winner of his first four starts before suffering from cardiac arrhythmia in his only spring appearance in the Feehan Stakes, Globe strolled home to win the 1000-metre heat by four lengths, clocking 58.84 seconds under Mark Zahra.
“This morning was a bit of a look-see to see where he is at and he was perfect,” said Mick Price, who trains in partnership with Michael Kent Jnr.
“He had a good spell and had some good pre-training and he is a good colour and not too fat, so I think he will come up super.”
Price said Globe will trial again, possibly next Monday, before his first racetrack appearance in more than six months for Roll the Dice Racing.
“I haven’t got a specific target for him, I just want to be careful with him,” Price explained.
“I am not sure if he goes to Sydney, but he is still a 90-rater, so I think we will just enjoy winning.
“He will have had a long time (out), so I don’t really want to be chucking him in the deep end.
“His potential has not been unearthed yet, so I am not sure what level he attains but somewhere between a mile and 2000 metres will be him.”
