Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
4. Proudtobehere
Lightly weighted local mudlark; drawn to get the sweet trip, paisan.
5. Sacred Mist
Fresh winner here in the slop, and the inside draw is pure gold.
2. Sight To See
Heavy-track specialist with a good fresh record; dangerous if she fires first-up.
1. Vamos
The old boy loves Heavy ground, but 62 kilos makes it a tough collect.
6. Divine Spirit
Has track-and-trip credentials and a featherweight; use her for the exotics.

Race context
Race preview
SACRED MIST (5) resumes from a spell and she would have been to the local unrecorded jump-outs in the area, and she ended her last season on a winning note at BM65 level. This is not much tougher, and she will be hard to beat. PROUDTOBEHERE (4) was not far away in a tougher field at Riccarton nearly 5 weeks ago, and she was a big winner in lesser company here before that. Stick with her. VAMOS (1) has been freshened up since a modest run at Oamaru nearly 7 weeks ago, and if he does not need the hit-out, then he can be competitive. SIGHT TO SEE (2) has won fresh up in the past, and from a handy gate, she should be ready to rumble. DIVINE SPIRIT (6) makes up the 6-horse field, but even she can't be totally overlooked.
