Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
9. Huxton Nz
Fat Tony says the $1.40 fixed quote screams confidence—classy Grimson runner with Hart aboard, despite gate nine.
7. Party Central Nz
Distance specialist who has already won here in 1:51.9; Grimson keeps a strong hand, capisce.
6. Captain Kobe Nz
Solid third first-up after a spell and should strip fitter; Callaghan can put him right in the mix.
8. Montefiore Nz
Was close up behind Layden last time and has enormous Menangle mile experience—sneaky exotics chance.
5. Mick Danger
Better than the latest run suggests; drawn to get handy and he’s got enough zip for a slice, my friend.

Race context
Race preview
PARTY CENTRAL NZ (7) came from a similar barrier to win at this circuit and distance three starts back and hasn't been far from the placings in stronger line-ups since, last time beaten 4.5 metres. Has the talent to take this out. HUXTON NZ (9) was a beaten favourite in his first outing for Grimson but still performed well for third at this circuit and distance. With even luck from a wide draw he can win. MONTEFIORE NZ (8) draws wide but comes off a good effort when not too far off the placings. Former Kiwi CAPTAIN KOBE NZ (6) made a solid start in Australia when third at this circuit and distance last week. That was his his first run for more than three months so he may improve.
