GOING: G(3)

FARM & CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS / GOLDACRES BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1615m

Track: Good 3     Rail: True.  

Strong pace from So Outrageous and Replace The Ace matching motors with Pampuni close at hand. REPLACE THE ACE (2) improved sharply with success as public elect over 1560m at Mackay two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Looks a genuine winning chance again. DWAYNE (3) missed the frame last time when eighth at Rockhampton. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. Great chance to bounce back. NOTACLUEHOWORWHO (4) was an impressive 4 lengths winner over 1400m at Springsure last time. Penalised for that success but a definite winning hope again. PAMPUNI (8) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1400m at Springsure. This looks a good race for her so another forward showing looks likely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Replace The Ace can get the job done again.
