Here are the horses of interest for this weekend running at Chukyo and Niigata Racecourses:

JANSHI (c, 2, More Than Ready–Autumnal, by Forestry) made $80,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale and was knocked down to trainer Hideyuki Mori for $280,000 at this year's OBS March Sale after breezing an eighth of a mile in :9 4/5 (see below). Hailing from the final crop of his legendary sire, the Mar. 30 foal is a full-brother to Eclipse Award-winning turf female and 'TDN Rising Star' Rushing Fall and a half to SW & MGSP Milam (Street Sense), herself the dam of GSP Lakota Spirit. The Grade III-placed granddam Marie J (Mr. Prospector) is responsible for the stakes-placed and stakes-producing Sisti's Pride (Forestry).

8th-NII, ¥30,400,000 ($206k), Allowance, 2yo, 1400mT
YU PHAROAH (c, 2, American Pharoah–Limari, by Medaglia d'Oro) was a respectable fifth on 1400-meter debut, but defied odds of 18-1 to graduate over the metric six furlongs at Kokura June 28. A $75,000 acquisition by Mori out of last year's Keeneland September sale, the February-foaled bay is the year-younger half-brother to West Beach (Omaha Beach), second in last year's Kentucky Downs Juvenile Mile, and is out of a half-sister to Eclair (Bernardini), winner of the Golden Gate Debutante Stakes back in 2019. The yearling half-sister to Yu Pharoah is cataloged as hip 401 at next month's Keeneland September Sale. O-K Aietsu; B-Don Alberto Corporation & American Pharoah Syndicate; T-Hideyuki Mori

10th-CKO, ¥15,200,000 ($103k), Allowance, 3yo/up, 1400m
AMERICAN BEYOND (c, 3, McKinzie–Church by the Sea, by Harlan's Holiday) is one of four winners from as many to race out of his dam, whose MGSW daughter Significant Form (Creative Cause) is responsible for the stakes-winning Opulent Restraint (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), a close third in last month's GI Belmont Oaks Invitational at Saratoga. A $275,000 Keeneland November weanling and $400,000 KEESEP yearling, the bay is also kin to GSW Hay Dakota (Haynesfield) and to the dam of Bobrovsky (Daredevil), a 10 1/2-length maiden winner at the Spa July 24. Second dam Witness Post (Gone West) produced GSW & GISP Hello Liberty (Forest Camp). O-Yoshizawa Holdings Co Ltd; B-Brereton C Jones (KY); T-Hideaki Fujiwara

3rd-NII, ¥14,250,000 ($97k), Newcomers, 2yo, 1200m
IDATEN SHACHO (c, 2, Goldencents–Wildcat Belle, by Intidab) was bought back on a bid of $40,000 out of last year's Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Sale, but improved into a $145,000 OBS March juvenile after drilling a furlong in :9 4/5 (see below). The colt's yearling half-sister by Omaha Beach is set to sell as hip 429 during Monday's session at the FTNAUG sale in Saratoga. Idaten Shacho is the mount of leading jockey Yuga Kawada.
