Solid tempo with I'm Kenny to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. I'M KENNY (2) is a track specialist with nine wins here. He looks well placed with the 3kg claim to make it 10 in this. Happy to forgive his last start on a wet track. He will roll along and be hard to watch. One of those trying to chase him down will be SHADOW EXPRESS (3), who is unbeaten in two runs here. Soundly beaten last start but this is easier. DJANGO EXPRESS (5) has found form since apprentice Sophie Potter went aboard and there's every reason to think the pair can make it three wins on the bounce. THINKINGNINTYNINE (4) will be better for the first-up run, while FIRST MAID (7) is another that can improve back on the dirt. SUGGESTED PLAY: I'M KENNY (2) looks a good win bet.
