Expecting Bold Print to take up the running with Ruminate and Nation State close at hand. Very competitive affair, which is appropriate for the Sprint Series Final, which is run for good money. CHARCOALS (3) was a good winner in town last time out, which was the first run since finishing midfield - albeit beaten just over two lengths - in Saturday city grade and did win the previous two starts on this track. Does have to overcome a wide gate though. LAA DE SHA (8) was introduced to synthetic racing last start and responded with an emphatic victory. This is a rise in grade but looks to be drawn beautifully. LUNA CAT (5) also draws low and doesn't win often but has run some cracking races in better grade than this and only needs the right run to figure. She'll be launching late. FREAK OF NATURE (6) is better than recent runs suggest and has won here before, so he could be the value player. You don't have to go back too far to see NAMESAKE (1) winning in town, so the talent is there and gets in well after the 3kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Charcoals to win.
