Expecting Spicy So Smart to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. Even contest. FORTUNE WHISKEY (1) won impressively two back before a 2.3L defeat most recently at this track and trip. He's likely to get back again from the wide draw, though Poon was on board when he won two back. Watch for him flying late in the race. TACTICAL COMMAND (10) ran on from midfield to win by 0.2L here 21 days ago. Badel has hit some form recently and he maps for a similar run in transit this time. Rises in weight but can repeat the dose. GLORY B (9) is another last start winner who lines up here. He's 35 days between runs, though he has won a trial at Conghua since that run. He's likely to be in front of Fortune Whiskey and Tactical Command in the run and will be right in the finish. E UNIVERSE (8) is worth including with an inside barrier and on the 7 day turnaround.
