David Brideoake has concerns over the barrier ahead of Royal Mile heading to Moonee Valley.

Group 3 winning South Australian galloper Royal Mile will have his first run since leaving the stables of Mount Gambier horseman Lee Creek at Flemington on Saturday.

The Racing SA Apprentice Academy kick-started 2023 in style with a massive month of milestones.

Lee Creek is hoping Royal Mile can stamp himself as a spring contender when he runs at Sandown.

The Victorian border has opened at an opportune time for leading SA apprentice Jacob Opperman.
