Whistle jacket
Mile Cup feature of this weekend in Japan
It starts off on Saturday in Kyoto with the Kyoto Shimbun Hai, G2 for 3yos over 2200m and has a field of 10.
There are two sons of Duramente here and we generally like his offspring. King Squall is on 3.8 for Yahagi-Sakai and M's on 4.8 with K Matsuyama on board.Current favourite is Toppi Born, a son of Real Steel, on 2.5 with Take riding but we are leaning more towards King Squall.
On Sunday we are in Tokyo for the NHK Mile Cup with a big field of 18 3yos. We are going for Satono Carnaval on 9.5 with Damian Lane riding the son of Kitasan Black for Hori-sensei. Admire Zoom is the current favourite on 2.8 with his regular jockey Kawada on the Maurice colt but he seems to have a bit of a problem in finding the line. Immigrant Song beat him in the New Zealand Trophy G2. He's the mount of Lemaire and is a c&d winner and is on 5.5.
Magic Sands is another that is fancied and he's on 6.7 with Take riding the son of Kizuna who ran 6th in the 2000 Guineas at his last outing.
