Expecting Smart Mace to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. DON FUKURIN (7) continued the great form last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths at this track over today's trip. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. LUX RAMPAGE (5) used the rails draw to good effect last start, bouncing straight to the lead and scoring an all-the-way win over 1230m at this track. Form at this track is solid. Expected to be in the finish. SMART MACE (2) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1230m at this track. Bold showing expected. INAZUMA TAILOR (4) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 1230m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has a good record at this course and distance, including four wins. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
