Race by race overview
Race 4
(7) I’m Kenny has been down on his best form of late but he gets back here to his favourite track where he has a super record at this distance range (11:5-2-1) and looks likely to race on speed and be prominent again, can improve sharply.
(2) The Last Dance comes into this with a last start win and has confidence now.
(3) Explicable ran well in a stronger race last start so will be suited down in level and maps for a favourable run on speed.
(1) Quick Qudos makes his debut for a new stable here today, wouldn’t come as a surprise winner here as he should find this an easier level than his most recent races.
Selections:
(7) I’m Kenny
(2) The Last Dance
(3) Explicable
(1) Quick Qudos
Suggested Bet: (7) I’m Kenny WIN

(1) Uncle Barry has been in flying form since joining his new stable, he rates highly in this field and looks well set up over this distance so should prove hard to beat in this field if he handles the track.
(4) Hot Off broke through for an overdue win in his last start, he looks likely to figure strongly in this race with a positive race map.
(5) Sumadartson resumes today, he has a super first-up record and ran well in his only other start at this track.

(4) Hot Off
(5) Sumadartson
