Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 5. So Can Eye
Fat Tony: Lock him in — placed over 2030m and rock solid; my money’s on him.
2. 8. Reckless Convict
Fat Tony: Respect the last-start smash over 2030m — can strike again.
3. 7. Musicstar
Fat Tony: Big chance if allowed to lead — wide gate, but plenty of zip.
4. 10. Sierra Mist
Fat Tony: On the upgrade at Newcastle — last-start winner, danger from the inside.
5. 6. Ellezie
Fat Tony: Quietly consistent and maps for a top-five — take a slice.

Race preview
SO CAN EYE (5) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 2030m at this track, beaten 1.4 metres. Big chance based on recent form. MUSICSTAR (7) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 24 metres, after a good third at this track the run prior. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Has the class to take this out. SIERRA MIST (10) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.2 metres at this track over 1609m. RECKLESS CONVICT (8) must be respected after scoring last start by 10 metres at this track over 2030m.
