Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
7. Front Man
Track-and-trip gun, pal—three wins from four over this 350m. The one to beat.
8. Warrego Rain
Two wins here from the last three; wide draw suits and he’s got plenty of ticker.
2. Rare Presence
Flying lately and drawn handy inside. Fresh win form makes him a serious player, see?
5. Little Rowdy
Reliable enough around this joint and can sneak into the minors if the pace gets hot.
4. Dixie Dean
Last run was ugly, but he has early toe and a bounce-back placing wouldn’t shock Fat Tony.

Race context
Race preview
FRONT MAN (7) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (22.15) at Q Lakeside. Has a good record here including four wins. His last run is a proven strong form reference. Can go on with it. RARE PRESENCE (2) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at this track over 300m (16.71) after forging to the front and leading throughout, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Leading player again. AFFLECK (1) scored (20.71) last time out over 352m at Q Lakeside nine weeks ago. Expected to feature on best form. WARREGO RAIN (8) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.
