Slick tempo assured from Bell Pit and Daimei Corrida leading the charge. BELL PIT (7) scored an impressive 30-length win when resuming from a spell last time out over 1800m at this track. Has never missed the frame second-up and is a great chance to get the prize again. S'IL TE PLAIT (6) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was seventh over 2100m at Kawasaki. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. DAIMEI CORRIDA (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. Grade 2 winner SUAVE ARAMIS (2) was last at the races when he finished fifth over 2100m at Kawasaki on February 1. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Junji Tanaka. Should be primed for this.
