Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 3. Kumbaya
Fat Tony says: Waller filly gets the mile and soft ground — she’s the one to beat, back her.
2. 4. Kowloon Magnate
Tony’s nod at #4 — will roll forward and fight hard, looks set to poke the fav late.
3. 1. Royal And Ready
Tough little battler with weight but form says place — Tony thinks she’ll sniff the minors.
4. 6. Quadria
Blinkers first-up and fitter — watch for a late surge, good rough chance.
5. 5. My Cartouche
Been close in stronger heat, lighter claim helps from the inside — a cheeky place hope.

Race preview
MY CARTOUCHE (5) deep into the campaign and she gets a much better setup for this. Went back from the draw and never got into the contest with a battling fifth over 1600m at Goulburn. Earlier runs had merit and the claim gives her a great chance. KOWLOON MAGNATE (4) takes on provincial class for the first time third-up. Just under a month between runs when he stalked the speed for fighting second over 1450m at Muswellbrook. Will roll forward and prove hard to get past over the extra trip. KUMBAYA (3) failed to sprint with them first-up with a struggling ninth over 1350m at this track. Finds a very average contest today and placed over this trip at Hawkesbury last December. Improver. ROYAL AND READY (1) gave his all with the 59kg for a battling third at Gosford in a Super Mdn at his third race start. Improver with place prospects.
