There is now another name to consider for the Oaks after Erika Vita won the Flora at Tokyo.

The Gr 2 went to the daughter of King Kamehameha who had started on 13.8.  She was ¾ length clear of Personal High, one of our tips, who was just a nose in front of Sincere Wish, by Kizuna who was on 33.1.  Of the two "Rouge" runners who had shared favouritism, Rouge Eveil just headed La Seule for 5th and Rouge Stirai finished at the wrong end of proceedings.

At Hanshin the older horses went round in the Yomiuri Milers Cup G2.  Those who had baled out of Soul Rush and gone for Ho O Amazon would have been rueing that move 50m from home when Soul Rush went clear and got the verdict by ½ a length.  Falconia 7.3 was only a nose away in third.
