RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE PIN & WIN MILE
Giving GALA QUEEN (4) one more chance getting to 1600m. Three runs this time in have been okay without really threatening, solid to the line in a stronger BM78 behind the smart On Display at Caulfield last time. She's a black type winner over this trip and this looks a fair bit easier. CHEST OF GOLD (14) is the one she'll have to run down. He's a progressive sort lining up for his sixth start. He has plenty of tactical speed and came away to win well last time in BM66 grade and maps to do the same here. HEED THE OMENS (15) has been building in two runs back, getting into third at Sandown Lakeside last time. Suited to 1600m now, he just needs a good ride from the draw. FARNBOROUGH (3) has been below his best at his past couple but had been going well prior and could bounce back getting into the running line from the middle draw. AUSTRATA (8) is consistent and an each way chance again.
