Ascot Entrants On Trial In Japan


Recommended Posts

A pair of Japanese-bred 3-year-old colts with entries for Royal Ascot will step out at Tokyo on Sunday in the G1 NHK Mile Cup. Godolphin’s Tower Of London (Jpn) (Raven’s Pass) is favoured off a win in the one-mile G2 Arlington Cup three weeks ago. The bay won three of five juvenile outings, and was third in the G1 Asahi Hai Futurity S.

Tower of London’s Kazuo Fujisawa stablemate Fast Approach (Jpn) (Dawn Approach {Jpn}), who also holds an entry for Royal Ascot’s G1 St James’s Palace S., has more to prove, having not tasted victory since his second-out maiden breaking score last August, which is his lone win in seven tries to date.

Also of interest on pedigree is ‘TDN Rising Star’ Lucas (Jpn) (Screen Hero {Jpn}), the full-brother to the Japanese Horse of the Year, champion miler and dual hemisphere stallion Maurice (Jpn). Lucas looked to be directly following the path of his elder sibling when bolting up on debut in August, but he has largely disappointed since, though he picked up a Group 3 placing at second asking.
