Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. Try To Relax
Box one and early dash—if he jumps clean, he’ll be hard to reel in, mate.
5. Ruby Juby
Track-and-trip specialist with a lovely draw record; she’s right in the caper.
3. Federal Cash
Classy, honest chaser dropping back in trip; puts himself in the quinella mix.
2. Infrasonic
Has a 21.91 here and box two helps—roughie with enough zip to pinch a place.
7. Average Return
Consistent recent placings and the vacant six gives her some room outside, punters.

Race context
Race preview
TRY TO RELAX (1) has been out of the placings last couple but impressed when clocking a 21.83 over 380m at this track three starts back. Has the ability and expected to go close again. RUBY JUBY (5) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. In the money last time at this track (22.03) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2 length third. Can feature with the right run. INFRASONIC (2) was below best last time when fifth but three back was a Grade 6 winner in quick time at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. FEDERAL CASH (3) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.
