Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 3. Shim
Fat Tony says: favourite for a reason — knows Cambridge like the back alley, will finish hard. Back him to pounce late.
2. 7. Portland Coco
Portland Coco's a come-from-behind grinder — keep tabs, he'll storm home and pinch second.
3. 4. Leonardo Jewel
Front-runner threat — if he nails the break he'll make them chase. Good each-way play.
4. 8. Boston Junior
Box 8 kid with a solid record here — handy place chance, expect a charging finish.
5. 5. Queen Of Nile
Track specialist who can sneak a minor if she finds her feet — don't dismiss her place claims.

Race preview
SHIM (3) is better than last start when sixth (22.00) in a Class 5 H at Manawatu over 375m. Form here at the trip excellent including three wins. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Can bounce back. PORTLAND COCO (7) missed the frame last time when fifth (18.76) at Manukau but prior to that had five placings in a row. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. BOSTON JUNIOR (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (21.74) in a Class 4/5 at this track. Expected to feature in the finish. LEONARDO JEWEL (4) must be respected at his pet distance.
