Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
8. Jk's Champ
The eight hole is the sting, pal, but this bloke's been knocking on the door all campaign—best form in the race.
4. Ithaca Hanover
Two straight wins and drawn to get a clean crack at them; the hat-trick is well within reach, my friend.
1. Always Andrew
Rail draw is pure gold at Northfield. He beat JK's Champ in this grade three back—serious slice of the exotics.
7. Old Town Road
Comes off sharp Scioto placings and gets the Merriman steering job; wide gate, but he's travelling sweet.
2. Great Service
Inside alley and a recent win at this level say he can hang around for a cheque—don't leave him out, capisce?

Race context
Race preview
ALWAYS ANDREW (1) scored at this track three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when fourth over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. JK'S CHAMP (8) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. ITHACA HANOVER (4) is flying at present with two successive wins to his name, most recently at this track a week ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. GREAT SERVICE (2) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.
