Solid tempo with Replace The Ace leading from Yukanuma and Craiglea La Vie. More than happy to stay in the corner of OUR TURN NOW (1), who only missed a head at the Sunshine Coast latest. That followed another near miss at Townsville in tougher the start prior. Can win this. MAGIC GAME (7) wasn't far away in a tough race at Mackay last time and looks well placed today. WHATJEUDOIN' (8) just didn't come on last time at Ipswich, but looked pretty good prior to that and deserves another chance. YUKANUMA (3) is in great form having won by three months in an easier affair at Mackay last time. Should measure right up in tougher here. REPLACE THE ACE (4) looks next best in a decent race. SUGGESTED PLAY: We like the look of Our Turn Now to win this.
