Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. The Lazarus Effect
Fat Tony says the draw, fresh win and class make him the banker, pal.
5. Mo'unga
Strong late zip behind the top pick last time; dangerous for the quinella.
4. Franco Sinatra
Trial win was sharp and Butt aboard means he can hustle into the money.
6. Renegade
Brave Vase third says he belongs; a gritty place chance at the price.
3. Tact McLeod
Fitter second-up and proven at Addington, but needs to lift on the return run.

Race context
Race preview
THE LAZARUS EFFECT (1) scored by 2.75 metres at this track over 2600m last start at his first run back from a spell. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder and he can make it two for two this time in work. BORRISOKANE (2) made a nice return at his latest appearance two-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing 2.75 metres away in second over 2600m at Oamaru. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. MO'UNGA (5) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 2600m. FRANCO SINATRA (4) last appeared when he scored by 2.25 metres over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway three-and-a-half months ago. Should be thereabouts.
