Birdsville · Race 6 · 03:59pm

  1. 6. Our Missile — Fat Tony says the light weight and sizzling Cairns finish make this missile the one to launch late.
  2. 4. Shisuta Bo — Drawn to stalk the speed, mate—Darwin winner with the right map to give plenty of cheek.
  3. 9. Acedrod — Two on the bounce and proven at the mile; Fat Tony keeps this in the quinella mix.
  4. 2. Green Shadows — Fitter after chasing Call Out home and has class; solid money horse for the minors.

UNITED STEEL MDN

New Plymouth · Race 1 · 12:15pm

  1. 6. Teleost — Two trial wins in the bog and the market’s yelling—Fat Tony says debut winner material.
  2. 8. Betty Willdoit — Gets in light and her Hawera fourth was honest; she’s got a proper wet-track chance, mate.
  3. 3. Mahina — Barrier one and only 1.4 lengths off them at Taupo—saves ground and grinds into the money.
  4. 2. Just Ted — The 2200m third reads well enough; forgive the latest and expect him charging late.

  1. 1. Performer — Draws the paint, loves the Heavy10 and has run two cracking seconds—Tony says catch him if you can.
  2. 8. One Bold Floozie — Classy mare with the handy gate and 2.5kg pull; fresh legs make her the main danger, pal.
  3. 2. Facilitate — Nearly pinched it over 1200m here last time; 1400m suits, though the wide alley is the sting.
  4. 7. Unbounded — Lightly weighted local mare has proper upside and prior 1400m form here—include the sheila.
  5. 9. Marge — Resuming fourth was honest on the bog and the 4kg claim is a lovely little earner, mate.

  1. 1. Roc All Night — Fresh, drawn to stalk or lead, and the punters have backed him hard—looks the goods, mate.
  2. 10. Luminance — Proper Heavy10 operator with the featherweight and pole draw; big danger, no mucking about.
  3. 8. Laura's Legacy — Classy mare with a handy 3kg claim and a sharp trial; rough gate is the sting in the tail.
  4. 3. Classy Brahma — Honest as they come and proven in the slop; should be right in the scrap again.

  1. 2. Circus Dancer — Heavy-track assassin, unbeaten in the slop and well drawn—Fat Tony says she’s the one to dance home.
  2. 9. Brutiful Lass — Two tough Heavy wins on the bounce; light weight and red-hot form make her a serious knockout chance, paisan.
  3. 5. Our Akashinga — Strong last-start Otaki win in Heavy going, gets barrier two and a handy weight—right in the caper.
  4. 4. Thorax — Fresh trial winner, already won this track-and-trip on Heavy; wide draw is the tax, but he’s got the class.
  5. 8. Oh Maimai — Home-track mare with a featherweight after the claim; trialled neatly, so don’t let the fresh form fool ya.

  1. 9. Procul Boy — Fat Tony says third-up, blinkers on and built for this Heavy10 caper—top pick, mate.

  4. 2. Turn The Ace — Could nick the front cheaply; a tough Heavy performer who'll make them chase.

  1. 3. Kwanza — Fat Tony says the Zed gelding gets the bog, the trip and a handy 2kg claim—serious staying profile.
  2. 4. Monroe — Two heavy-track wins on the spin; the wide alley is no drama over 3210m. Big value for the hat-trick.
  3. 9. Ziggy Khan — The market fancy is tough in wet ground, carries just 55kg and has been knocking on the door all prep.
  4. 7. Lord Spencer — Four straight over the fences proves he stays all day; back to the flat is the query, but don’t leave him out.
  5. 2. Yolo — Won this trip and track last year, loves a Heavy10 and has the sharp Lily Sutherland aboard—sneaky chance, punters.

New Plymouth · Race 7 · 03:43pm

  1. 14. Hi Yo Fox Rox — The cash has come like a freight train, punters—lightweight, wet-track form and upside.
  2. 1. Ayteem — Big weight and ugly draw, but this Heavy10 specialist has proper class; danger all the way.
  3. 11. My Ferrari — Comes off a demolition job here and gets the pole—if he controls it, he’ll be hard to catch.

  1. 3. Cignetti — Fat Tony says the soft-track winner maps to control it from gate two—Shinn is the right man for the job.
  2. 4. Lepolo — Big debut bolt-in and Coffey sticks; turf is the question, but the colt has serious upside, capisce?
  3. 1. Ko Phangan — Classy Flemington form and proven in the wet, but 60kg and the freshen-up make him a touch vulnerable.
  4. 5. Utopic Future — Maher colt gets a cosy draw and can park handy; needs another step up from the narrow synthetic win.
  5. 2. Hydrobomb — Blinkers go on and 1500m suits better—rough money for the exotics if he finds his old form.

  2. 9. Cavalry Girl — Three straight, loves Sandown and handles the sting out—she’ll make them chase.
  3. 7. My Gladiola — Trialled sharply and her Lightning second is proper G1 form—big danger if she handles the Soft5.
