Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
8. Im Harvey Specter Nz
Fresh enough, strong Wagga form and Towers knows every trick—despite the wide gate, this is my top racket.
9. The Ladybird Nz
Honest Mildura form and likely to land handy from the second line; she’ll be right in the envelope.
6. Arklow
Good Albury runner-up and has gate speed; dangerous if Jared parks her close to the action.
10. The Clock Winder
Forgive the latest flop—his Wagga win two back was sharp, and he’s got the draw to bounce back.
1. Betterthantheboyz
The pole is gold, pal. Her recent figures are ugly, but she can pinch a cheque if she leads.

Race context
Race preview
IM HARVEY SPECTER NZ (8) was disappointing last start when sixth over 1740m at this track after a nice second at this track the run prior. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but a nice steer can see things pan out and he must be a big chance if he is on-song. THE LADYBIRD NZ (9) finished third last start at Mildura over 2190m. Expect her to be prominent. BETTERTHANTHEBOYZ (1) disappointed last time when ninth over 1720m at Young but can make amends while ARKLOW (6) must be considered after she finished runner-up over 1770m at Albury a week-and-a-half ago.
