Sunday sees the running of a G3 at Nakayama and a G2 at Chukyo.

The Keisei Hai G3 at Nakayama is over 2000m and is for 3yo, with 12 lining up.  As is usual with horses just starting their third year the race is quite open.  Gratias is on top on 3.8 possibly because he has Christophe Lemaire riding.  He's by Heart's Cry.  Time to Heaven is by Lord Kanaloa and will be partnered by Mirco Demuro and they are on 5.2.  Taiso is by Maurice and is on 6.0 and completing the runners on single figures is Platina Treasure, by King Kamehameha on 6.7.

Chukyo hosts the Nikkei Shinshun Hai G2 over 2200m for the 4y+ runners.  Admire Virgo is by Deep Impact and Yutaka Take rides – they are on 3.8.  Velox is 5.5, Daiwa Cagney 6.3, Sanrei Pocket on 8.1 and we quite like Courageux Guerrier on 9.2 certainly on an e/w basis.
