Always plenty of early pressure in sprint races such as this with a large contingent of first starters. NAMASTE (4) is one of three runners with race experience on their side. Chased hard with the 58kg when a gritty third over 1200m at Wyong. Strips fitter and will find this more suitable from the gate. Goes close. SPLASH OF STEEL (5) snagged back from the outside draw on debut and never in the contest when sixth to the smart Wodeton over 1100m at Rosehill. Further improved now with the blinkers added and can race closer from the better draw. COSMIC AVENGER (1) was beaten for early speed from the awkward draw and chipped away late when fourth over 1000m at Randwick. Extra trip in his favour and stays in the calculations. KARINSKA (9) Spirit Of Boom filly out of Show Some Leg on debut for the Waller stable. Like the way she finished off in her only trial and the 1200m suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Namaste to take catching.
