Replace The Ace should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. KAREEM (1) scored two wins on end and then didn't have much luck when missing by 3L at Doomben. Comes back to the scene of his victory two runs back and faces a far less daunting assignment. Well placed to bounce back. ITALIAN DANCER (4) needed it first-up and then stepped up to 1200m and delivered a 58 at the Sunshine Coast. Draws to advantage and benefits from a 3kg claim today. Has been kept on the fresh side and won't have to improve much to feature. SAVVY BEE (7) rates similarly on her 58 win at the Sunshine Coast over a mile. Raced favourite in that and will position forward from the inside barrier. Has been freshened and also has claims. REPLACE THE ACE (5) led and went close here 7 days ago as favourite and has weight relief this grade. He's in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Kareem.
