Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
10. Dashing Donkey
Fat Tony says the light weight and head defeat here last start can see the Donkey kick clear.
1. Lightning Flash
Flying jockey and rock-solid wet form; big weight is the only sting in the tail.
5. Phantom's Chase
Forgive the last muddy run, pal—draws to get a sweet on-pace crack at them.
9. Opus
Fresh off a gutsy 2200m win, with the inside gate and 58.5kg; juicy value.
8. Dreamstone
Honest mare who maps handy again and handles give in the ground—must include.

Race preview
LIGHTNING FLASH (1) is ticking along nicely, arriving just in time to score here two back before just missing the bob at the latest. Gets a key booking in Loy and only needs to hold his form to be fighting out the finish again. DASHING DONKEY (10) improved sharply last time here when pushing forward over this trip and fighting hard to just miss to LIGHTNING FLASH, who he meets better at the weights this time. Can turn the tables. OPUS (9) drove hard late to get the verdict at Bairnsdale. Draws the inside again, will make things easier for him if they can better utilise it this time. PHANTOM'S CHASE (5) failed to live up to expectations last time in testing conditions at Wodonga but his form prior measures up. Willing to give another chance. WHISTLE DOWN (2) hasn't won for a long time but finds an easier assignment and should appreciate stretching back out to this sort of trip. Keeping in mind.
