While Most Exalted only has one win to his name, there was more than met the eye to the midweek maiden where he broke his duck.Thats the view of trainer James Cummings as he seeks a second victory with the horse in Saturdays Pluck@Vinery Handicap (1500m) at Rosehill.The two Chris Waller-trained runners who filled the placings in the June 8 maiden over 1550m at Canterbury, Firebird Flyer and My Guiliano subsequently won Saturday races in Sydney.The form out of that maiden, although at the time it didnt look amazing, it has improved once weve seen some of those horses mature more and get to higher level, Cummings said.Most Exalted returned from a spell to run third at Rosehill on November 19.Early Sydney jockeys premiership contender Brenton Avdulla gets the ride on Most Exalted who has drawn barrier two.Hes a horse with a very, very good finish and hes certainly drawn a much more advantageous gate this week than he did first-up so he would map much better, Cummings said.Cummings also has a two-pronged attack on the TAB Handicap (1400m) with Lunar Rise and High Midnight.Lunar Rise will be James Doyles first ride for the stable and Cummings is hopeful the veteran campaigner can turn his form around for the English jockey.Two starts back hed be a winning chance but after last-start hes got a lot to improve on, Cummings said.Lunar Rise has trialled since his last start where he failed to beat a runner home at Rosehill on November 19, a disappointing return given his victory at the same track one week earlier.High Midnight will be looking to improve on his first-up effort when fifth.We felt that his run peaked late first up, Cummings said.He should be an excellent chance of improving on that first-up run.Static Lift is entered for Rosehill and Canterbury on Friday night, with Cummings yet to make a decision about where the horse will run.

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Better transition defense and another career day from Ivan Rabb kept Californias winning streak at Haas Pavilion going.Maintaining a big lead -- something the Golden Bears have struggled to do this season -- certainly helped, too.Rabb scored 18 of his career-high 26 points in the first half and California beat Alcorn State 83-59 on Saturday for its 25th consecutive home win.Its very important for us as a team to grow and to keep pushing the lead, especially in the second half, said Roger Moute a Bidias, who matched his career high of 12 points for the third time this season. In the past weve had halves where we come back and were a little slower and we let teams get back into it. You dont want to give a team confidence when you have a lead like that.California (6-1) went into the game riding a three-game winning streak despite blowing 20-point leads each time. Coach Cuonzo Martin blamed it on the teams injuries which forced him to mix and match the lineups.It hardly mattered against Alcorn State.California built a 44-25 halftime lead, led by as much as 29 in the second half and coasted to its fourth straight win.In the two games that we had here when we gave up big leads we did a poor job with our transition defense, a poor job carrying out assignments, Martin said. It was better today.Three days after setting his previous career best for scoring, Rabb shot 10 of 12 and had seven rebounds to lead a dominant effort down low by California. Rabb scored on a pair of putbacks in the first half, added a one-handed dunk off a lob pass from Charlie Moore then scored six points as part of an 11-2 run in the second half.Moore, the Bears leading scorer going into the game, had an off-game while filling in for point guard Grant Mullins. Moore missed his firrst six shots and finished with seven points and four assists.ddddddddddddAlcorn State (2-5) couldnt keep up and lost its third straight.Reginal Johnson scored a season-high 17 points and had seven rebounds while Marquis Vance added 11 points for the Braves.We have to run our offense a little better and play with a little more pace and tempo, Alcorn State coach Montez Robinson said. We got stagnant at times.BIG PICTUREAlcorn State: Three consecutive lopsided losses have Robinsons squad reeling. The problems are happening on both ends of the floor, though Johnson provided a lift offensively. The biggest issues are consistency and 3-point shooting. The Braves went 5 of 21 beyond the arc and are shooting under 30 percent for the season.California: The Bears got on top early and never let the Braves get back into the game, a definite step up after California had troubles closing out games earlier this season. Getting Moute a Bidias going is another good sign as the team tries to find some complementary scoring to support Rabb.SHORT-HANDED BEARSMullins was in Canada to be with family following the death of his grandmother. The graduate transfer is expected to rejoin the Bears in Hawaii. Jabari Bird, who hasnt played since the season-opener, continues to be sidelined with a sore back. Bird averaged 10.4 points and shot better than 40 percent from 3-point range last season.UP NEXTAlcorn State: The Braves continue their six-game road trip at Louisiana Tech on Monday night.California: The Bears left immediately after the win to fly to Hawaii for a pair of games in the Pearl Harbor Invitational. California opens against Princeton on Tuesday night. ' ' '
