Trading as the 6-4 favourite, the G1 Epsom Derby third was held up with only Bangkok (Ire) (Australia {GB}) behind early and when unleashed wide in the straight surged to the front passing two out en route to a highly impressive 4 1/2-length success from that rival. 1–JAPAN (GB), 126, c, 3, by Galileo (Ire)1st Dam: Shastye (Ire) (SP-Eng), by Danehill2nd Dam: Saganeca, by Sagace (Fr)3rd Dam: Haglette, by Hagley(1,300,000gns Ylg ’17 TAOCT).
