Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
5. Ellie Rippin
Fat Tony says she nearly pinched it first-up; flying driver and the one to beat.
7. Try Catching Me
Honest mare, strong second last week; gets the gun trail and chases hard.
8. My Confidant
Forget the Newcastle flop, pal—Parkes win says he has the zip for a bounce-back.
3. Rippin An Twistin
Has ability and draws handy; behave at the start and he can sneak into the money.
6. Gerrys Jewel
First-up fourth had some merit; improved fitness can nick a minor cheque.

Race context
Race preview
TRY CATCHING ME (7) made a nice return at her latest appearance a week ago, finishing 1.2 metres away in second over 1609m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go her way at some stage. Primary contender in a similar assignment. ELLIE RIPPIN (5) was a nose away in second at this track over 1980m last start at her first run back from a spell. Her last-start form is good enough to put her right in the finish. GERRYS JEWEL (6) is in the mix following a fourth at her first run back over 1609m at this track. RIPPIN AN TWISTIN (3) broke last start and finished 25 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track unfortunate start to this prep. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up so if he behaves a big run is likely.
