GOING: G

Race 12 2000m

Track: GOOD     True  

Genuine tempo with Bell Pit leading the way. BELL PIT (8) Handy entire who is racing well. Went fast early and went on to score by 6 lengths last time out over 1800m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. KEIAI PURPLE (1) grade 3 placegetter. Has been safely held in tougher company at his last two, the latest in stakes class when fourth at Listed level at Tokyo Dirt. Expected to feature back in this class. S'IL TE PLAIT (3) clocked-in third behind Bell Pit last time out at this track over 1800m. Yet to miss the placings here in and has an excellent record which boasts seven wins and four placings. One of the leading contenders. DOTERAI YATSU (6) progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1700m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again.
