Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
5. Luvavici
Fresh third was full of ticker; fitter now and the market knows, my friend.
3. B D Hall
Young improver with Tim Williams aboard; sweet front-line draw for a proper crack.
9. What The Dragon
Classy resumer, trial win says the dragon has plenty of fire despite the 10m.
2. Swift Dream
Tough old campaigner flying after Kurow win; lands handy and fights like a street dog.
10. The Royal Gamble
In honest nick and Thornley is red-hot, but 20m makes the job a little spicy.

Race context
Race preview
WHAT THE DRAGON (9) resumes from a spell of 14 months after showing some very good form last campaign, closing it off with a win over 2600m at this track. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. LUVAVICI (5) is next best after finishing third when resuming over 1980m at this track last time out. MAJOR CYCLONE (8) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 2600m at this track. B D HALL (3) resumed from a spell here last start and went a solid race to finish second when well supported. Fitter and is in the mix.
