Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
4. Rippin Good Feelin
Fat Tony says the fresh Newcastle nose defeat and handy draw make him the one to whack on top.
5. Zacharooni
Mr Consistent has the gate speed and Jemma’s flying—should be right in the thick of it, capisce?
6. Ellie Rippin
Trial winner resumes with Jett driving hot; the young mare can sneak into the money.
10. Double Lines
Freshened and trialled fairly; awkward second row, but he’s a knockout chance at the price.
9. Spooky Art
Has recent 1980m form and can rattle home if the pace up front gets a bit spicy.

Race context
Race preview
RIPPIN GOOD FEELIN (4) produced a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Newcastle. Meets a comparable field and he can grab a win. DOUBLE LINES (10) has not raced for ten weeks. Looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. ZACHAROONI (5) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. ELLIE RIPPIN (6) last appeared when seventh over 1980m at this track seven months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.
