Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
7. Against The Bridle
Fat Tony says the last-start 30m demolition and Herbertson aboard make this the banker.
10. Jessicas Story
Classy mare hit back with a solid Shepparton third; big danger if the back-row trip works out.
9. Aldebaran Marcus
Tony likes the local 1690m record and his close second here two runs ago—keeps grinding.
5. Atego Dawn
Race-fit mare has the motor and can land handy; a sneaky chance to fill the minors.
4. Massif Central
Honest recent placings and proven at this trip—Fat Tony has him in the exotics.

Race context
Race preview
AGAINST THE BRIDLE (7) charged back into winning form last start, cruising home by 32 metres at Kilmore over this distance. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. JESSICAS STORY (10) produced a good effort at her latest appearance when third at this circuit and distance. Not drawn the best so may need a 10/10 drive but with even luck she can turn in another good performance. ALDEBARAN MARCUS (9) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance and back-to-back placings prior. ATEGO DAWN (5) is race fit now and worth including.
