Cash Artist and Southaven to take up the running at a strong tempo. SOUTHAVEN (6) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score at Mackay last start. Found winning form and can keep the ball rolling. GENERAL WOLFFE (5) did well last time to finish fourth over the mile here after he got a long way back in the run. The extra journey should play into his hands. Sure to be thereabouts. REPLACE THE ACE (3) is a distance specialist. Improved second-up but found one better. Steps out to a pet trip on the quick back-up and is drawn to advantage. Bold showing anticipated OUTTA CONTROL (8) was much better last start when rising to the mile third-up. Should appreciate the added trip again and can play a more significant role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Southaven.
