Strong tempo with Bell Pit and Passion Cry leading from Nishiken Bob and History Maker. NISHIKEN BOB (7) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Looks a winning chance. HISTORY MAKER (2) returns after a spell of five-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. PASSION CRY (5) resumes in a similar race to his last run five-and-a-half months ago when he scored by half a length. Looks a strong top-three prospect. BELL PIT (6) was in great form last campaign with six wins on end before finishing ninth at the last appearance at Nagoya. Proven first-up performer with an impressive win strike-rate. Opened last prep with a win over 1800m at this track. Anticipating a strong return to racing.
