Bell Pit and Sanyo Teio should roll forward and dictate. BELL PIT (3) made it two from two this time in when a most impressive winner last time over 1800m at this track. Has an excellent strike-rate at this track and has won all five attempts over this longer distance here. Take beating. KEIAI PURPLE (1) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a third at this track two starts back then scored by a neck last time out over 1800m at this track. Must raise the bar but is going well. SANYO TEIO (7) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 1800m at this track. With added fitness he is one of the key runners. CREW DRAGON (8) has finished fourth in all three runs so far this campaign. Include.
