Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 3. Robert John
Listen, kid — Robert John’s the one to back, prime draw and ticking over; he’ll boss this affair.
2. 5. Nuclear Attitude
Nuclear Attitude’s honest — loves Ballarat, cruisin’ for a top-two finish; Ginger knows how to place him.
3. 6. Rasengan
Rasengan’s coming right — recent second shows the zip; give me him into the placings.
4. 4. Joe Lou
Joe Lou’s a wild card — if he behaves he can hit the frame; risky but worth the nibble.
5. 2. Touchandgo
Old campaigner Touchandgo will grind into the minors — pace to burn, can sneak a top-five.

Race preview
NUCLEAR ATTITUDE (5) led last time out and stuck on for third in a higher-graded race at Geelong. Came from a similar draw to this when he won three back at this circuit and distance so has strong claims. ROBERT JOHN (3) had no luck at the draw last start and couldn't get into the race after going back. Much better served by this barrier and has winning claims off back-to-back placings last month. RASENGAN (6) draws wider but is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance at Bendigo. JOE LOU (4) broke last time but could be competitive in this line-up if he gets it right.
