Tony’s shortlist

Fat Tony’s AI picks

1

13. Itazura

Fat Tony says the light weight, sweet gate and Flemington win make him the one to whack on top.

2

18. Victorious Spirit

Proper class from the autumn, well weighted and Ben Melham from barrier six is tasty.

3

4. Stylish

Back to 1400m, drawn to get the right run and Shinn is riding like he owns the joint.

4

2. Home Rule

Old pro loves Caulfield 1400 and wet ground; led and fought hard here last start.

5

16. Recuperato

Comes off a strong soft-track win here and gets in light—include the mare in the exotics.

Race preview

ITAZURA (13) scratched last week after drawing wide. He was impressive winning over this trip first up at Flemington from back in the field, if he can hold a spot from the gate here he'll take beating. ASAKURA (8) struggled first up in the Listed Regal Roller Stakes over 1200m. He'd gone through the grades nicely last campaign with close up efforts behind Sixties and NZ star Well Written. Up in trip suits although the draw isn't ideal. RECUPERATO (16) broke through for a strong win here last time and has claims, STYLISH (4) is better suited to this trip with Shinn on from a good draw. HOME RULE (2) was much better last time and will be further improved.
