2020 VICTORIA HANDICAP – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Runson will be fired up from the wide gate to cross and lead. WILD PLANET (5) stalked the leaders then ground out a tidy win over this distance in the Listed March Stakes at Flemington five weeks ago. Distance specialist who again enjoys the run of the race from a good gate. Very hard to hold out.

BAM'S ON FIRE (12) has been beaten a length or less in three consecutive Group races for mares, most recently leading only to be gunned down late in the G2 Sunline at Moonee Valley. Loves Caulfield so from a good gate can match it with the boys.

SPANISH WHISPER (6) battled on fairly in bog conditions to finish a respectable 6th in the G1 Coolmore over 1500m at Rosehill four weeks ago. Three-time G2 winner who can give this a mighty shake. HAUNTED (4) made up many lengths to be beaten just a length in the 1200m Hareeba at Mornington recently. Big chance stepping up in distance.
