Sunday saw the Rose Stakes run at Chukyo.
Although designed for fillies and mares all the contestants were 3yo fillies and the winner was Andvaranaut who defeated A Shin Hikari and Art de Vivre. The favoured Cool Cat and Tagano Passion were back in the field.
On Monday at Nakayama the St Lite Kinen over 2200m saw a big upset when the winner was Asamano Hazura on 42.7 by a head from So Valiant and Orthoclase third. Some of the more fancied runners finished at the wrong end of the field.
