Morning SW

There were 3 or 4 that had finished in close proximity to Mer De G and were never in the hunt yesterday
Not so much a reflection on MDG but certainly on those behind her

SW, I see you’ve tipped Mer De Glacé in the CC

Loyalty?

I can’t line his form up with the likes. Of the better horses or tracks over there that I’m aware of. Almond Eye, Kiseki, Suave Richard, Grand Chevalier & Rey De Oro etc

How does he measure up with that class?

I see old Suave Richard was rewarded with a Japan Cup win on Sunday but you have to wonder about the start given away by the jocks on YOU CAN SMILE & MAKAHIKI.

The latter must have been 30 lengths off the lead and still ran 4th

They went pretty quick early and Makahiki it is just his pattern to get back.
The Arima Kinen at least looks a potentially more star studded race.

Thanks SW
Is the Arima Kinen this coming weekend ?

SW, you’ve got a few Raiders heading across East China Sea today.

Any standouts for us?

It certainly looks to be the strongest representation ever in my eyes

Sorry Wily only just saw this as been busy all day.
FWIW I thought Vase I had Lucky Lilac ahead of Dierdre.
Mile I had Normcore ahead of Indy Champ but thought Japan could win those two.
