Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
8. His Lady Bay
Fat Tony says the money’s talking, darling—class edge and Thornton aboard despite the alley.
10. Winter Arc
Rail, light weight and blinkers on; should control the tempo like he owns the joint.
7. All Moonlite
Ran on stoutly fresh in the bog and the 1700m looks right in her wheelhouse.
4. Le Plus Rapide
Old mate has the Warrnambool 1700m wet-track second; must include at the odds.
5. Shaw Can Fly
Fresh stayer with a hot jockey—roughie capable of sneaking into the top five, capisce?

Race preview
ALL MOONLITE (7) is a lightly raced older mare who ran a good race first up here, sent out a $19 hope but running on well for fourth over 1400m. Expected to improve off that and the rise to 1700m will suit nicely. WINTER ARC (10) has run fourth in both starts to date, battling on well last time over this trip on very tough going. Fitter again for that and sets up well from the inside. HIS LADY BAY (8) tackled a stronger maiden at Geelong last time and was solid, finishing sixth. Drawn wide but is rock-hard fit and can take this out. LE PLUS RAPIDE (4) has mixed form of late, still a maiden after 26 starts. The run two back here was okay. SHAW CAN FLY (5) next best on resumption.
