Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
8. Luxmi
Fresh second was a beauty, sweetheart—despite the alley, she’s got the class and speed to boss this.
6. Amarula Franco
Blair Orange aboard and a fighting Ascot third; this mare’s right in the thick of it, capisce?
7. Rahasi
Young fella has upside and his Kurow run was better than seventh reads—danger if Ferguson gets cover.
5. Jaccka Henry
Trial reports are sharp and the market loves him; long spell is the only little red flag, pal.
10. Superfast
Finished off nicely at Kurow and has winning form around this grade—include the old girl in your exotics.

Race context
Race preview
LUXMI (8) was a neck away in second at Ascot Park Raceway over 1700m last start at her first run back from a spell. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position, but she good enough to take this out. AMARULA FRANCO (6) scored at this track three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when third over 1700m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 2.5 metres. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. SUPERFAST (10) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 2000m at Oamaru. RAHASI (7) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway two runs back. Stick with him on an each-way basis.
