Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
6. My Degenerate
Three-for-three at Yonkers and humming, pal—top pick despite the outer draw.
5. Asteroid
Classy old campaigner keeps chasing hard; looks the main danger, see?
2. Oliver The Great
Inside slot and two recent wins—he’s got a proper slice of this caper.
7. Wheelzablazin
Last-start winner has a nasty gate, but Kakaley can sneak him into the money.
3. Torrone
Drawn to save ground and nearly won last time; use him in the exotics, boss.

Race context
Race preview
MY DEGENERATE (6) has recorded three wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Didn't let supporters down at his latest appearance when he got the job done by a neck over 1609m at this track. That latest effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. ASTEROID (5) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 7 metres from the winner. This should be an easier assignment so he is in the right race to return to the winners' list. OLIVER THE GREAT (2) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. WHEELZABLAZIN (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m.
