Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 2. Cerulean Poppy
This horse's last start was pure dynamite. It'll blaze away again.
2. 6. Better Half
Flew out last race like a rocket, expect another strong break.
3. 4. Round Up
Good as a sheriff with a slick win recently, watch it ride hard.
4. 1. Harper Smirch
This one knows the way home. Won't make much smirking here.
5. 7. Redhot Money
Like a kid with an allowance - can vanish quick, but got potential.

Race preview
CERULEAN POPPY (2) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 2.25 lengths at this track in a handy 17.19 beating Stroll Fun. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. BETTER HALF (6) hit the ground running from an outside draw with a fast early split, paving the way for a 2 length win at this track over 300m in 17.27. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. One of the leading chances again. ROUND UP (4) scored a one length win (17.29) last time, overcoming a collision in the run to claim a Grade 4/5 over 300m at this track. Expecting another bold showing. HARPER SMIRCH (1) has won at this course and distance – sure to figure prominently.
