Genuine pace headed by The Little Pumper who should kick up along the paint. Lightly raced mare SHE'S UNUSUAL (12) returned from a 24-week break with a resounding win in a Class 1 over 1400m at Newcastle last start. That performance was easily the best of her four to date so she is back in great order. Can go to this next level. THE CREATOR (1) registered his third win from the last four outings when comfortably home as favourite over this course and distance a fortnight ago. That followed a seven-week let-up so he can improve off that effort. Gets in well after the claim so another win is on the cards. THE LITTLE PUMPER (3) led but couldn't hold out The Creator here last time. Meets him worse at the weights but he does strip fitter after three runs back. Nash taking over is a positive. ALL IN THE MIND (4) charged home late to grab second when resuming from a 16-month break over this course and distance last start. Sure to kick on with that run out of the way. ENOTIS (6) resumes. Unbeaten at this distance and goes well fresh so keep him safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's Unusual gets the nod but the top five picks are all genuine hopes.
