Hot tempo expected from I'm Kenny and Pricilla's Choice. PRICILLA'S CHOICE (6) is flying, backing up a solid second at Bordertown with a dominant win at Oakbank over 1400m. In peak form and beautifully placed to repeat the dose. SHADOW EXPRESS (2) has turned this track into a happy hunting ground, notching up back-to-back wins here. Racing with confidence and a genuine contender again. I'M KENNY (1) hasn’t been far away of late, running on for third last time at Gawler. Worth noting he was a dominant winner here three back when firmly supported. No reason he can't return to the winner's circle. SENGOKI (7) shed his maiden tag in style last start at Hawker. Tougher this time but is worth keeping safe. THINKINGNINTYNINE (4) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pricilla's Choice to win again.
