At Nakayama it's the Sankei Sho All Comers over 2200m with a field of 11.  There's not much between the first three in the market so anything could happen however for the record those three are Hohelied on 3.8 with T Yokyama on board, Regalaria 3.9 and Tosaki up and Douradores 4.2 for Lemaire.  Regalaria owes us so we may go with him.

At Hanshin it's the Kobe Shimbun Hai for 3yos over 2000m with 10 starters.  Again not much between the top three in the market with Shohei and Sakai on 3.0, En King with Kawada up on 3.1 and one we may go for Giovanni pn 4.9 with Matsuyama in the irons.

Other news Shin Emperor is now not going to the Arc.  After a disappointing run last weekend and some not serious but nevertheless worrying health reports he is coming home and will train for the Japan Cup.  Lucky Sweynesse has arrived safely and is now training happily as he aims for the Sprinter Stakes, and Joao Moreira is back on a short term licence.
