Kennedy Mile betting tips

Favourite - Kementari is unlikely to find a challenger.
Best bet - Iconoclasm might cause an upset as it has already taken place at a mile-long race.
Roughie - The American gelding might snatch a place as it has managed to do at Randwick and Rosehill. Simply put, it is unlikely to win, but no stranger to milers.
