Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 5. Mav Reiko
Looking red hot, can carry form into this race. Worth a decent splash on the punt.
2. 2. Nigel Devere
Chasing a hat-trick, and looking sharp. Solid each-way odds, could surprise and outpace a few.
3. 1. Irish Bill
Don't be fooled by last run's finish - always a threat from the inside box. Could deliver the goods again.
4. 3. Daysea's Rory
Hasn't been far off the mark. With past wins here, it’s a punters' nugget worth a cheeky flutter.
5. 6. Vista Weird
Bit of a maverick this one. If things line up, might just claim a spot for the savvy punter.
