Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
8. Nightmare Gavin
Fresh pup with upside; nearly pinched it last start and gets room to wind up outside, my top ticket.
1. Especial Kiani
Box-one speed and a stack of seconds—overdue to collect, capisce.
6. Opalina
Has the fastest recent 300m win in this lot; forgive the last two and keep her in the quinella.
7. Jazz Band
Reliable Healesville performer from this alley; needs luck early but can rattle home for a cheque.
4. Two Star Mikado
Early toe and strong track record give this filly a chance to hang around the first five.

Race context
Race preview
ESPECIAL KIANI (1) was well supported last time but could only manage second (17.09), beaten a neck. Has never been out of the placings from three starts out of this box. Expected to feature in the finish again. JAZZ BAND (7) finds it hard to break through. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (17.35) at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to her name from five starts. Bold showing expected. NIGHTMARE GAVIN (8) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only a long neck from the winner Smokin' Lopez in second(17.22) at this track. Must be included in calculations. OPALINA (6) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.
