THE LITTLE PUMPER (3) has been going around in far tougher races. Began awkwardly and couldn't get involved last start in the Group 2 Callander-Presnell over the Randwick mile. Won by over two lengths when he last raced in midweek company. Expect him to bounce back to his best today. FLYING TRAPEZE (4) also found the Callander-Presnell a bit rich last time after a decisive win over 7f at the Kensington track two starts ago. Still has improvement to come at just the fourth run of the prep. Sure to give a great sight. HOKKAIDO (2) got into some bother last time out over this course and distance in Saturday company so forgive the run. Cherry ripe after three runs back and the booking of Rawiller is important - he has a 30% strike rate on Joe Pride runners. THE REPLICANT (5) generally goes well at this trip so on a quick back-up he is worth including. YET HE MOVES (11) is back in trip but racing very well and must be respected for the Waller/McDonald combination.
