Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 4. Boom Dynamite
This kid's a front runner, looking for the hat-trick. Stick with the dynamite!
2. 5. Tapu Girl
She's been lighting it up on the track. Tough nut, definitely in the mix.
3. 6. Run The Gauntlet
Solid form, will be breathing down their neck. Expect a big finish.
4. 3. Grasscutter Moe
Bit of a wild card. Needs the right run to mow 'em down.
5. 7. Thrilling Zane
Form's a bit up and down, but from this box, he might surprise.

Race preview
BOOM DYNAMITE (4) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 29.94 beating Avatar Speed. The form out of his last race has been franked. Can continue on with his winning form. TAPU GIRL (5) goes very well at the distance with six wins and a placing from eight starts. Recorded a neck win (30.36) in a R/A FIN last time at Addington. Did win the group one NZ Oaks last start. With even luck and a clean start should be right amongst the finish again. RUN THE GAUNTLET (6) shapes well after a speedy run last time, finishing second in a Class 5 at Manawatu in 25.99. Not the quickest into stride but should be running home strongly. Should be in this for a long way. GRASSCUTTER MOE (3) can measure up with the right run.
