Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
4. Flourish
Tony says this kid's got the cleanest recent figures—hard to knock after that sharp 25.76 win.
8. Cucuzza
Drawn wide and knocking on the door; put him in the quinella, pal.
7. Star Bluey
Led all the way here last start—if Bluey crosses clean, he gives plenty of cheek.
2. Big Cool
Forgive the Bendigo flop; his 22.48 Shepparton win says he's got a live chance.
6. Market Rose
Honest local chaser with early toe; can pinch a minor cheque from the six.

Race context
Race preview
FLOURISH (4) recorded his 2nd career win last time out (25.76) at this track and drawn box 4 for the first time here. Has a strong record here including two wins. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Looks to have an edge on most of these. CUCUZZA (8) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 4.5 lengths back in third (22.47) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 6 over 390m. Racing well and deserves a win. STAR BLUEY (7) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at this track and distance (22.48) after forging to the front and leading throughout, scoring by 4 lengths. Bold showing expected again. BIG COOL (2) didn't live up to the market support last time but a better run is on the cards.
