Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
2. Occupation
The obvious top pick, pal—low draw, Bullock flying and his recent placings stack up beautifully.
5. Didie's Meadow
Forget the Gold Coast flop; she draws to settle handy, gets light weight and the mile suits.
4. Grafting
Second-up improver from gate two; can park closer and give the favourites plenty to think about.
9. So Sain
The extra trip and just 55 kilos are the angle—honest mare for the exotics, mate.
8. Lunar Glory
Long-shot for fifth only; blinkers and gear changes need to spark a massive turnaround.

Race context
Race preview
OCCUPATION (2) racing well from the wide gates in all three career starts and finally comes up with a decent barrier here. Covered plenty of ground from the wide gate before launching late to finish third over 1400m at Coffs Harbour. Best form puts him right in this. DIDIE'S MEADOW (5) total forgive at her second run from a spell when snagged back from the outside draw to finish ninth over 1200m at the Gold Coast. Will race a touch closer and has genuine claims. SO SAIN (9) fitter now and the extra trip will suit after running on late when sixth over 1300m at Casino. Place best. GRAFTING (4) found them too sharp first up with the 60kg when seventh over 1300m at Casino. Can race closer here and take a hand in the finish.
