Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 3. Night Lighter
Top dog in this race, expect him to lead from the front and keep the pressure on. Too strong.
2. 1. Zara's Secret
Won't let that last run set her back, fast on her feet and could sneak into contention.
3. 5. Go Gettem Croker
Chasing a hat-trick, could give the top dogs a run for their money if luck's on his side.
4. 6. Dancing Dennis
Has some nifty footwork; might just dance his way into the placings. Keep an eye on him.
5. 7. Elite General
Underrated but has shown blistering speed before, could surprise the field.

Race preview
NIGHT LIGHTER (3) is a fast dog well performed over the sprint races. Was a strong winner last time (17.02) over 297m at this track in a Free For All. Strike rate this distance strong having won 43 of 75 tries. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Well placed and can measure up. ZARA'S SECRET (1) finished fifth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 275m at Cannington, taking a Free For All in a dominant 15.83. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. ERAMOSA (2) was a course and distance placegetter (17.46) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 6 length third in a Free For All. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. DANCING DENNIS (6) form at this distance reads well.
