Genuine pace with I'm Kenny finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. EXCELMAN (4) has become quite the bridesmaid this campaign, finishing in the frame without winning in all five starts. Rates highly on best figures and is racing well at this venue. Gets his chance to break a long run of outs. FAIR LEGACY (7) hasn't placed a foot wrong in her last three as she shoots four her fourth straight success at this track. In glittering form and is drawn favourably. Sure to be very competitive. EUREKA'S VICTORY (5) drops back sharply in grade on the quick turnaround and steps back to a winning trip. Bold showing is anticipated. SHALAGA (9) has threatened the winner in his last two but was a comprehensive winner here three back. His best version has him in the finish. I'M KENNY (6) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Excelman to get the verdict.
