PUMPKIN'S PRIDE's stamina may have been stretched last time and he is of strong interest judged on his effort over a similar trip to this at Doncaster earlier in the year. Armattiekan was returning from a 9-month absence when second to Balranald over this C&D and, with that run under his belt and armed with a 5 lb pull, he is taken to reverse those placings and emerge as the main danger. Robber's Bridge is also worthy of consideration.
