Osaka Hai - Form Comments
| 1 | Lord My Way | Strong late run in the G3 Challenge Cup at the course and distance in November gave him a fifth successive win and his first graded stakes success. The streak snapped last time out with a disappointing 10th in the G2 Kinko Sho (2000m) on 15 March. Tactically versatile. |
| 2 | Satono Saltus | Won 2 over 1800m and 2000m and placed 3 times from 8 career starts. Latest win in the 2019 November Stakes (2000m) at Tokyo. Fought well late for a career best performance last out when 2L 2nd to Saturnalia in the G2 Kinko Sho (2000m) at Chukyo on 15 March. Settles midfield or better. |
| 3 | Blast Onepiece | Won 7 times over 1800m to 2500m from 12 career starts. Won 2018 G1 Arima Kinen (2500m) but a disappointing 11th in the G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (2400m) at Longchamp in October. Regained his form and ran on strongly to win the G2 America Jockey Club Cup (2200m) in January. |
| 4 | Wagnerian | Won the 2018 G1 Tokyo Yushun (2400m). 5 wins over 1800m to 2400m in 11 career starts. Finished in the frame all 4 starts last term; best when 3rd in this race last year and in the G1 Japan Cup (2400m) in November latest. Settles midfield or deeper. |
| 5 | Lucky Lilac | Won G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies (1600m) to be JRA’s Champion 2yo filly in 2017. No match for Almond Eye as a 3yo when placed in G1 Oka Sho (1600m) and G1 Yushun Himba (2400m). Sole win from 6 starts last campaign was G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2200m) in November. Fared well when 2nd to Glory Vase in the G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Vase (2400m) at Sha Tin in December. Kicked off the year with a 1.75L 2nd behind Danon Kingly in the G2 Nakayama Kinen (1800m) last time out. |
| 6 | Red Genial | 2 wins at 2000m and 2200m in 9 starts. Most recent win came in the G2 Kyoto Shimbun Hai (2200m) last May. Rounded off last year with 6th in the G1 Kikuka Sho (3000m) in October. Started as favourite but only 7th in the G2 Nikkei Shinshun Hai (2400m) in January latest. Hold-up runner. |
| 7 | Stay Foolish | G1-placed as a 2yo in 2017 and won the G2 Kyoto Shimbun Hai (2200m) the following year. Consistent at G2 and G3 level since. Two recent runs this term for 2nd to Blast Onepiece in the G2 America Jockey Club Cup (2200m) at Nakayama in January and 3rd to Chrono Genesis in the G2 Kyoto Kinen (2200m) in February last out. Sits handy but can race behind. |
| 8 | Danon Kingly | 5 wins at 1600m and 1800m and placed twice in 8 starts. Highly regarded and 3rd in the G1 Satsuki Sho (2000m) and 2nd in the G1 Japanese Derby (2400m) last year. Rounded off the season with 5th in the G1 Mile Championship. Delivered impressive challenge and scored his third graded stakes win in the G2 Nakayama Kinen (1800m) on 1 March. |
| 9 | Makahiki | Winner of the 2016 G1 Tokyo Yushun (2400m). Won 5 from 1800m to 2400m in 20 career starts. No win since the G2 Prix Niel (2400m) in September 2016. Ran 1.25L 4th behind Al Ain in this last year. Solid 4th in the G1 Japan Cup (2400m) last out. |
| 10 | Jinambo | Five-year-old son of Triple Crown winner Deep Impact and Triple Tiara winner Apapane. Won 4 at 1800m and 2000m from 9 outings. Ran a close 2nd in his first Pattern start in the G3 Niigata Kinen (2000m) last September. Disappointing 13th in the G1 Japan Cup (2400m) two starts back. Finished a decent 3rd to Cadenas in the G3 Kokura Daishoten (1800m) on 23 February latest. |
| 11 | Cadenas | 4 wins at 1800m and 2000m in 22 starts. Placed twice at G3 level from 6 starts last term. Displayed brilliant closing speed to win the G3 Kokura Daishoten (1800m) in February, his first win since taking the G2 Yayoi Sho (2000m) in March 2017. |
| 12 | Chrono Genesis | One of the best fillies in Japan with 5 wins between 1600m and 2200m in 9 outings, including her maiden G1 title in the Shuka Sho (2000m) at Kyoto last October. Placed 3rd in both the G1 Oka Sho (1600m) and G1 Yushun Himba (2400m) last term, and 2nd in the 2018 G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies as a 2YO. Fair 5th to Lucky Lilac in G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2200m) in November; bounced back to claim the G2 Kyoto Kinen (2200m), defeating G1 Japan Cup runner-up Curren Bouquetd’or in February. |
