Port Augusta   23 May 2025
 
GOING: G

Hannahville Hotel Benchmark 62 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Genuine pace with I'm Kenny taking up the running ahead of Ichibansan and Pride Of Proisir. I'M KENNY (3) was a class (or two) above last start when making light work of his rivals with a dominant all-the-way win over this track and trip. If he finds the front again, he'll take plenty of running down. ICHIBANSAN (2) chased gamely to just miss last start in a good form race at Balaklava. Has built nicely into this campaign and can get the job done with fresh legs. DOCTOR ROBERT (7) hit the line strongly over further and drops back slightly in trip expect him to be running on late again. Can cause a late scare if they pour it on early. SIR PANAMA (4) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: I'm Kenny to win again.
