Kennedy is three wins clear of Ellen Bartley with four weeks left in the season.
The pair train out of the same Euroley property.
Kennedy lines up five chances to Bartley's four at Riverina Paceway.
He's hoping to strike some luck despite some of his better chances drawing poorly.
"Our good draws are probably our weakest chances unfortunately but it gives them all a chance I guess," Kennedy said.
Naamark is having her first start for the stable, and has impressed in work, but has to contend with drawing the inside of the second row.
Kennedy is also looking for improvement from Pop The Porsche after a fourth in her second start for the stable.
"She will be close to them from a good barrier," he said.
"If she ran straight she would probably go close and we've had her joints injected, had the chiropractor to her and I've done everything I could think of to make her run straight and it hasn't made any difference."
Kennedy also expects Deekays Major will be fitter after resuming with a third last week.
His best two chances come later on the program with Adira and Highland Major.
With a combined eight wins in their 11 starts, Kennedy would be very confident with them both if it wasn't for wide draws.
"The other two girls have drawn bad but if they both get to the top they probably both win," he said.
Both have been in excellent form with Adira unbeaten in four starts for Kennedy.
However he expects she will have her toughest test to date.
"Uroc Skinny Jeans has drawn pretty well in that race and it goes pretty good in front," he said. "I'll leave it up to the driver whether he goes forward or back as she is racing good and can either lead or come off the speed."
Jackson Painting takes all five drives.
Kennedy is chasing a second Riverina premiership while Bartley was pipped at the post for her first by Bruce Harpley last season.
Blake Jones is 14 wins clear of Painting as he looks to defend his drivers crown.
