Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
2. Eye Catching
Draws sweet in gate two, mate—forget the Scioto horror show; this bloke’s Northfield win says he’s the one to beat.
3. Lacy Lucy
Classy enough for the quinella, pal. Chris Lems and the inside draw can have her right on the money.
4. Miss Lady May
The young filly has a sharp 1:58.3 win on the sheet; freshened up and dangerous if she trots clean.
8. First Dalliance
Comes off a tidy win and has the top rating, but gate eight is the taxman—still a multiples must.
1. Sod Buster
Honest rail runner who keeps plugging into the minor dough; a sneaky top-five ticket, capisce.

Race context
Race preview
EYE CATCHING (2) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 30 metres into sixth at Scioto Downs over 1609m. From this far better draw can take care of this field. LACY LUCY (3) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at Scioto Downs two weeks ago. DUBLINS HOLIDAY (5) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1609m at Scioto Downs on July 28. Something for the Multiples: FIRST DALLIANCE (8)
