Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
9. Kalgarry Ally
Tony’s top pick—rock-solid heavy-track form, handy gate and Collett’s flying; overdue to collect.
4. Aim Up
Grylls aboard and improving each run; the 1400m looks right up his alley, capisce?
1. Dragonstone
Honest mudlark who ran on for third last time; wide draw the only knock, but he’s in the mix.
12. Lady Meera
Made ground in both heavy-track starts, draws nicely and side winkers could sharpen the act.
7. Highflying Ace
Debutant with credible wet-track trials and Fawcett up—one for the exotic tickets, my friend.

Race preview
KALGARRY ALLY (9) has raced his way into form, and is nearing a well-deserved winning turn. She tried hard when finishing runner-up at Te Rapa last time out, and with the right run, she can go one better. DRAGONSTONE (1) ran on late and finished in the money for the first time in his career at Te Rapa just over 2 weeks ago. He has the pole position, and he has each-way claims again. REQUISITE (3) has been a touch disappointing in his last 2 starts, but will start from a superior gate this time. He is worth another chance. AIM UP (4) ran fourth last start at Ruakaka over 1200m and is nearing a win at short notice. In this field with Craig Grylls up, he will right in the finish.
