Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
5. Dink
Fat Tony says the inside alley, light weight and strong northern wet-track form make her the knockout banker.
1. Fast Like Thunder
Ran a beauty for second on Heavy at Oamaru; winkers on and he can park handy despite the wide draw.
6. Empress Suiko
Nose away last start and loves the mud well enough—old mate is the danger if the pace turns messy.
7. Shes So Flash
Recent form is ugly, but her close third here over this trip on Heavy gives this lightweight mare a sneaky place hope.
4. Mr Murralli
Unraced mystery parcel with barrier two and a useful claim—Fat Tony keeps him for the exotic tickets.

Race context
Race preview
DINK (5) makes her South Island debut after showing talent when trained in the North. She has the pole position, and even with 2 months since her last run, she is the one to beat in this even field. EMPRESS SUIKO (6) has been trying to win a race for some time, and was only beaten by a nose at Oamaru 3 weeks ago. She has a superior gate, and no one would begrudge her a winning turn. FAST LIKE THUNDER (1) made a solid debut from the beach stable of Amber Hoffman when finishing runner-up as the favourite at Oamaru 3 weeks ago. She has the winkers on for the first time, and can go one better. JOCK'S WAY (2) has done nothing in 2 starts to date, and he resumes from a spell that would have done him no harm. Check the market moves. MR LOVA LOVA (3) can only improve from a modest effort on debut.
