Despite the small field Frostnip, Wintery and Shinjina can set a strong tempo. Handy race. FROSTNIP (4) ran a very good race first up at Geelong in a rich race, showing speed there and sticking on gamely for a narrow second. She looks to have come back better after not quite measuring up in some strong races as a 2yo and can go one better in this suitable affair. SHINJINA (5) resumes for her second campaign. She showed plenty of ability in her first campaign with form around some top horses including Point Barrow before a close-up effort in G3 company. She can land in a good spot here and take beating. WILTSHIRE SQUARE (3) wasn't far away fresh at Flemington against the older horses and comes back to her age here. She measured up well to some of the best 2yos last time in and should go close here. HELLO ROMEO (1) was solid fresh and could be an improver with consistent form last time in. YOLO (2) has been good in two runs back and has claims again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Frostnip to win.
