Genuine tempo with the speedy Replace The Ace leading the way. VOUCHERS (5) brings strong form from Townsville and Cairns the latest, where he was beaten 1L, backed off the map. Has an awkward gate but keeps a top hoop and is on a quick backup. SUPID DATE (7) has been around the mark without winning. Her effort here two back in an Open 3 rates well, but she didn't follow it up at Townsville. Has the inside barrier and could surprise. REPLACE THE ACE (3) switches back to 1560m off a 30-day freshen. Has pieces of form good enough, and winning rider Wiggins is reunited. That's a decent push for his chances, and the gelding has a strong record at the track. GENERAL WOLFFE (4) hasn't won for a long while but showed enough at Rockhampton last time to get some of the minor cash. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Vouchers.
