Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 4. Rockin' Kinloch
Fat Tony says: market's right — the young gun's got the zip and the money behind him; roll with the fav.
2. 6. Vivid Love
I'll back Vivid Love for a bold run — top rating, always places when right; can pounce late.
3. 2. Aussie Trickster
Solid each-way play — vet record here at the trip and fitter than last run; don't ignore.
4. 8. Fire Fly Joanne
Front-running danger — wide draw but pace to press the leaders; pay attention in the run.
5. 5. Grandad Kevin
Hard-knocker for a minor slice — honest form at Northam, good for quinellas and trifectas.
