Verdict

MY WISH (7) is the current fave for the International Mile in December and looks the one to beat off his two wins this time in work. His recent trial was very good behind Ka Ying Rising and he maps to get every chance once again. Looks set to continue his winning run. GALAXY PATCH (2) finished off well from a mile back first-up in the Sha Tin Trophy. He never really got his chance there with a below average steer, but he now gets J-Mac on board and the blinkers back on. Can make his presence felt this time. LIGHT YEARS CHARM (13) takes a big step in grade today but was rather impressive when winning in a C2 last start over 7f. He's been tried at the mile once before and the fact Purton sticks is a good push for his chances. Not discounting him. SUNLIGHT POWER (8) comes back to the mile today and can be strong late in the race.
