Lots of speed predominantly from You're My Dream, Smart Scepter and Gold Bond. SMART SCEPTER (10) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1230m at this track. Winning rider Osamu Shimohara retains the mount. Right in contention. YOU'RE MY DREAM (3) improved sharply on her seventh two starts back at Kochi with success as favourite over 1400m at Kochi three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 7 lengths. Goes up a rung or two but she is good enough to figure in the finish. GOLD BOND (2) displayed plenty of early toe over 820m at this track when resuming last time and defied all challengers to score by half a length. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Cannot be underestimated. RIKEA SABLE (9) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Likely to be there at the finish again.
