The speedy The Creator should find the front with The Little Pumper and Edmond on his heels. FAIRWAY STAR (8) settled towards the tail of the field then worked home fairly to finish midfield over 1400m at Flemington last start. Fitter for two runs back from a break and she has a win and a placing from two tries at or around this distance. Can improve enough to score. EDMOND (6) showed pace but dropped right out when resuming over 1300m at Warwick Farm a fortnight ago. Stats here and at this trip are solid. Has only missed the frame once in six second-up runs so expect him to improve sharply. THE LITTLE PUMPER (3) has met with support in his two runs this prep but has been a shade disappointing. Worth another chance with blinkers applied for the first time and a bit of relief at the weights after Amy McLucas' claim. Victorian THE CREATOR (1) is worth considering despite a seven-week gap between runs. HELLFIRE EXPRESS (2) was too bad to be true first-up at Randwick. Good second-up performer who likes Canterbury so she can bounce back without surprising. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fairway Star just on top in a tricky one for punters - any of the eight can win without surprising.
