This G2 is over 2500m and has been run at this time of the year in recent years.

The latino theme can be found in the runners where the favourite is Muito Obrigado, Portuguese for "thank you very much". He's won his last 3 on this track but over 2400m however the extra 100m should not be a major problem.

Perform A Promise is on 5.0, Look Twice 5.7 and Noble Mars 6.8.

On Saturday the Keio Hai Nisei over 1400m saw a great battle between the top two in the market with Fantasist just getting the nod by a nose from A Will A Way. Third money went to Carlino on 25.7 who was 2 lengths behind the first two.

At Flemington on Saturday no luck for the beautiful Sole Impact - he was forward enough in the race but lacked the finish to get into the frame in the Lexus. He needed to win in order to get into the Melbourne Cup Field so now it will just by Chestnut Coat to wave the flat for Japan.
