AU - Hamilton - Race 5

STERNIN (11) settled too far back at Echuca over but was close up in town and at Ballarat prior over 5f. Keeps Yendall and has the blinkers on for the first time. Expect him to push forward today, and he has strong prospects. CONISTON SPICE (6) looked good in the lead-ups but looked a run short at Swan Hill on debut. Has a handy gate and the tongue tie is applied today. In a leading barn and quick improvement is on the cards. I WILL SHINE (2) resumes and has looked sharp, winning two recent Camperdown jumpouts. Most of the extra gear comes off, and he's likely to be very competitive in this lineup. Expect SILVER SNOW (5) to make good improvement third-up. Just missed this trip the last time he raced here, and he has the blinkers on again. That effort stacks right up. FASHION WORLD (8) rates strongly but is unlikely to present on a 2-day return.
