Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
8. Tour Party
Four-from-four, trialled sharp and the $1.70 says the syndicate knows—wide gate is the only wrinkle, capisce?
9. Chiggsy
Blair Orange aboard and a plum second-row draw; genuine Group-class colt who can stalk the big fish.
7. Travel Agent
Classy Group 1 winner with Dunn driving; fresh and awkwardly drawn, but he’s got enough zip to barge into it.
6. Faith Not Fear
Debut win had plenty of sauce late; improving colt is a serious place and trifecta player.
5. Fanfare
Tough, consistent customer with gate speed and a close second to Faith Not Fear last start—keep him in the exotics.
