Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
5. Santita
Market’s sweet on her, pal—heavy-track form and a handy weight make her the one to whack on top.
1. Fourofus
Proper mudlark with a strong second-up setup; wide alley is the tax, but he’ll be charging late.
8. Trader Inn
Fresh third on the slop reads well, mate—gets a decent racing weight and looks a knock-out chance.
10. Shooting Stride
Ran fourth in that strong Riccarton heavy race; on-pace trip gives this bloke a live each-way squeal.
4. Deciphering Me
Loves it boggy and gets a big apprentice claim—forget the last one, she can nick a cheque.

Race preview
FOUROFUS (1) caught the eye with a late finish for fifth as the favourite at Oamaru 3 weeks ago over 1200m, and he will appreciate the extra 200m on offer second up from a spell. A wide gate is no help, but he has a lot more to offer, so with a dip in class, he is the one to beat. Follow your money. SANTITA (5) is having her first start in the South Island, and she is also in an earlier race. If she lines up in this, she will be hard to hold out. MURCH (6) has had a couple of starts in the South Island over 1200m without much luck, and he can be a quick improver over 1400m, so stick with him. THE BLACK PRINCE (3) makes his South Island debut from the beach stable of Amber Hoffman, and his last run was just over 2 months ago. He should measure up, so follow any market moves closely. KENWOOD HOUSE (2) has continued the theme of making his South Island debut, and he showed enough up North to suggest he can clear his maiden status at short notice. Keep him safe.
