The return of James Cummings’ brilliant three-year-old colt Golden Mile in the Group 2 Expressway Stakes (1200 metres) at highlights a strong program at Rosehill.
Golden Mile proved he was in the upper echelon of his age group last spring with a win in the Group 3 Ming Dynasty at Rosehill and also at his last two starts in the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas and then the Group 2 Callender-Presnell at Randwick.
History is on Golden Mile’s side as eight of the last nine Expressway Stakes winners have been first-up from a spell.
