This is G2 and over 2200m.

Orthoclase is a talented stayer and tops the market here on 2.4 with Lemaire in the irons.  Potager is on 4.1, King of Koji 2.5 and Boccherini on 9.3.

At Chukyo there is a G2 on the dirt – the Tokei TV Hai Tokai Stakes over 1800m.  We are not so familiar with these runners so will just show the Morning Line's picks which are Auvergne and Sunrise Hope both on 4.5 with Bullbear Iride on 5.8.
