Leading trainer Mick Price says he would happily scratch Cox Plate hopeful Globe (NZ) (Charm Spirit) if he is not 100 per cent fit for Saturday’s weight-for-age championship.

The Group One star is under an injury cloud heading into Saturday’s feature and Price declared he would be taking no risks with his Might And Power Stakes winner.

“He had to do a sleip test. It’s a video of their action. RV contacted (Michael Kent) Junior late yesterday and said on half of the test, the horse wouldn’t pass. I’ve contacted the owners and let them know,” Price told Racing.com

“He’s down the beach this morning. They’ll come Thursday, have a look at it. They usually … say ‘we might come Friday, we might leave it to Saturday morning’.

“The horse does have an irritation in the off front fetlock. If that horse is not right, I’m not happy with him, I’m not going to run him.

“We X-rayed it. It’s bone clean, but the joint capsule has an irritation where it attaches to the bone. It’s more a soft tissue thing.

“On Saturday morning if the horse is not 100 per cent, he won’t run.”
