Hot pace certain with Entelecheia, You're My Dream and Love Love Kurofune keen to take up the running. FERN HILL (14) hit the frame two starts ago at Kyoto Dirt but ran below par last time when 15th and beaten 10 lengths over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt after being prominent at the turn. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. ENTELECHEIA (10) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 900m at Kawasaki last time. Should be ridden positively again and expected to feature. YOU'RE MY DREAM (5) is racing with great purpose and has two wins on end, most recently getting home by 1.5 lengths over 820m at Sonoda. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One to consider. STRIKE ON (4) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track with success over 1200m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
