Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. Illicit Love
Tony says the inside draw and red-hot hat-trick form make this bloke the one to beat.
5. Inasinglemoment
Classy mare fresh off a spell; the market knows she can give the favourite plenty of curry.
3. Regal Girl
Honest as the day is long, maps sweetly and Herlihy can put her right in the frame.
4. Stone Cold
Forgive the Cambridge traffic jam—strong Park record makes him a handy exotic play.
6. Bravehearthighlander
The 15m handicap bites, but his recent course win says he can barge into the top five.

Race context
Race preview
ILLICIT LOVE (1) has been hard to fault of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 2200m at this track, getting home by 8 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to take this out. INASINGLEMOMENT (5) resumes after great success last prep, winning on two occasions and culminating in victory over 2700m at this track on May 24 2024. Sure to be ready to run well. STONE COLD (4) finished sixth last start over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. REGAL GIRL (3) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.
