Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
7. Request
The $1.60 fixed favourite has upside, Blair Orange aboard and that fresh Addington win was all business, mate.
10. Help Me
Ricky May has him humming; chased Request home then won well at Kurow—proper quinella chance.
1. Chocta
Drawn to get the sweet trip and his Addington record is tidy. Don’t let this young bloke slip.
12. Lottie's Moment
Hit the line nicely fresh and owns a strong track-and-distance record; wide draw needs a clever steer.
11. Tu Tangata
Classy old trotter with a sharp late run last week—if Nairn finds daylight, he’ll be charging.

Race context
Race preview
REQUEST (7) made a winning return at her latest appearance two weeks ago, getting home by 3.5 metres over 2600m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field and she can salute once again. CHOCTA (1) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1980m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Leading hope if anywhere near his best. TU TANGATA (11) is also high on the list of contenders despite a tough draw. Best form measures up favourably in this line-up so just needs a bit of luck to go his way. LOTTIE'S MOMENT (12) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth when resuming over 2600m at this track on August 21.
