As far as the Japan Cup goes, I'll be thrilled with a good performance from either Deep Impact or Ouija Board...they've been some of my favorites this year .
And the Japan Cup Dirt...I'll go for Fusaichi Pandora, simply because that's the only one that I've seen run before . Heh. And they're all totally all Captain Obvious picks XD. Katy |

I dont know for sure until I review pps, but I would think SeekDia is going to be very tough here. as for the Japan Cup, Hearts Cry's form puts him as the only one with a shot to beat Deep Impact. really is just btwn those 2 imo. chalky, but those are 2 total freaks. Repent |

What do you think of Hard Crystal, repent? For the Cup, I agree - Heart's Cry. Freedonia should go off at big, fat odds. Don't know how she'll do over there. Although I'd be thrilled if Ouija Board won and am expecting a great showing from the big three (HC, OB and DI), I keep wondering about Cosmo Bulk..... Is Meisho Samson in? |

blue square's odds: 4-1 Hearts looks nice...

I'll take Ouija here, hopefully she can finally run the really big figure that she never really has done in winning so many top races. She's in better form than this time last year when she was around two lengths behind Heart's Cry, and there must be doubts about that one's prep this time around. It will be interesting to see how Deep Impact has teken his exertions of the last couple of months, there is every chance that he will fly in, but I won't be taking even money about it happening.

deep impact will always be heavily bet. there's just no way to get value on him. 4/1 is a nice price on heart's cry but it's been a while since he's run. it's hard to imagine anyone but deep impact or heart's cry winning this one. they're the two best horses in the world. but stranger things have happened. if ouija board wins, a shrine should be built for her and she should be immediately inducted into every horseracing hall of fame. |

Hard Crystal is interesting, but just lost to Time Paradox last out. I like SeekDia and Vermillion intrigues me a bit. past performances for anyone interested: http://japanracing.jp/_news2006/pdf/061114.pdf as for the Japan Cup, I can look at pps a thousand times and nothing gets me away from Hearts Cry and Deep Impact. both are so visually impressive on the racetrack. match race. just hope we get firm turf. in another year, Cosmo Bulk would make a lot of sense. he can certainly run the distance. but he would have to run the race of his life to be with HC and DI. same goes for Dream Passport and MeiSamson. just running in the wrong year. you can certainly make a case that this is the deepest and best middle distance turf field assembled for the entire year of 2006. past performances: http://japanracing.jp/_news2006/pdf/061114-02.pdf Repent |

Japan Cup Dirt is next up.
Alondite seems the value. class test for sure. SeekDia is my pick, but will go off as one of the favs in a wide open field. I like those 2 more than the rest. Repent |
