RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES MILE
Results
BOARDRIDER (7) has won both starts to date, far too good on debut at Moe before measuring up well in town to take a BM64 at Sandown Hillside last time out. Bit more depth here but he looks promising and can measure up well again. CALLMEANICON (12) is flying, winning both starts this time in. She was too strong late at Sandown Lakeside over 1500m last time out and can run well again. HEART OF GLASS (10) hasn't quite fired in two runs this time in but should be fitter and may appreciate the extra ground. OUR EMPRESS ZOE (8) is a consistent type who maps well and can give a sight. ZOUPURRING (9) should be thereabouts.

Rates highly and is right in the mix again.
