Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 1. Sir Mikki
Listen, boss — hot form, loves Awapuni synthetic and the 2140m. Hat-trick chance, back him.
2. 3. Subtle Image
She's tough as nails with blinkers on — will chase Sir Mikki hard, big each-way value.
3. 2. Platinum Sixty Six
Pole draw and course love — stablemate to Sir Mikki, can pounce late for a top three finish.
4. 6. Keepitinyourwallet
Front-runner who stuck on well last time — will be in the money if he controls the tempo.
5. 4. Romanin
Improved recent maiden winner, steps up to suit — don't underestimate her staying on.
Runners and racing form
Race preview
SIR MIKKI (1) has found his best form again this year, winning 2 on the bounce at this level. He is up another 2kg, but that should not be enough to stop him from completing a hat-trick of wins. PLATINUM SIXTY SIX (2) has not won for some time and is a stablemate of the top pick. He saves his best for this course, and from the pole position, he maps to do no work early. Stick with him. SUBTLE IMAGE (3) has been racing consistently since joining the in-form Didham stable, and with the aid of a good draw, he should produce his usual honest effort here. ROMANIN (4) broke through for an overdue maiden win when scoring by half a length here 12 days ago over 1700m. The extra 440m will suit her, and with less weight to carry, she should go close to repeating the dose. KEEPITINYOURWALLET (6) was much more like it when finishing third behind the top pick in the same race last time out. He can hold his form now, and he has each-way claims again.
