Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 4. Groot's Galaxy
This guy just won in dirt-cheap fashion last start. Back him to repeat, capiche?
2. 3. Mailman's Coming
Mailman won’t quit – he’s still delivering letters and wins. Expect another strong run.
3. 7. All Over Rover
Last race win was smoother than a fresh cannoli. Potential surprise in the mix.
4. 8. Crossfit Queen
She looks tough and ready. Could cross the line strong if the stars align today.
5. 5. Thrilling Gordon
Not a bad choice for an outsider. Thrilling races, just needs to bring it on here.

Race preview
MAILMAN'S COMING (3) was well supported last start but didn't deliver when fourth (30.68), beaten 7 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Can atone. GROOT'S GALAXY (4) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 4 lengths at Wanganui in a handy 30.14 beating Long Non White. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Will go close again if runs up to latest. CROSSFIT QUEEN (8) finished eighth in a Class 3 last time, copping a check in the run when beaten 16 lengths over 520m at Wanganui. Returns to a distance where she has performed well. Does down grade for this and expected to feature on best form. ALL OVER ROVER (7) is a last start all-the-way winner. Must be respected despite rising in class.
