Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
4. Marikit
Fresh, classy and trialled sharp—Fat Tony says she’s the one to whack on top.
1. Majestic Monkey
Drawn to get the sweet trip with Orange steering; hard to toss, my friend.
9. Montara
Maiden win had real authority; wide draw is the only bit of garlic in the sauce.
5. KD Grins
Tough recent form in stronger company and close to the pace—must go in the exotics.
12. Brewster Baker
Dunn runner has upside and a solid trial; risky first-up, but keep him onside.

Race context
Race preview
MARIKIT (4) resumes from a spell of ten weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance over 2600m at this track. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. MONTARA (9) was without a win before displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 5 metres over 2600m at this track four weeks ago. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets a comparable field and she can go right on with the job. BREWSTER BAKER (12) ended last prep with a seventh at Alexandra Park over 2200m six months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort. MAJESTIC MONKEY (1) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.
