Sunday, Chukyo, Japan, post time: 3.40 p.m., TAKAMATSUNOMIYA KINEN-G1, ¥329,520,000, 4yo/up, 1200mTField: Panja Tower (Jpn) (Tower Of London {Jpn}), Big Caesar (Jpn) (Big Arthur {Jpn}), A T Makfi (Jpn) (Makfi {GB}), Danon McKinley (Jpn) (Maurice {Jpn}), Yamanin Al Rihla (Jpn) (Isla Bonita {Jpn}), Red Mon Reve (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), Yoshino Easter (Jpn) (Rulership {Jpn}), Win Carnelian (Jpn) (Screen Hero {Jpn}), Satono Reve (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), Mama Cocha (Jpn) (Kurofune), La La Maceration (Jpn) (California Chrome), Puro Magic (Jpn) (Asia Express), Namura Clair (Jpn) (Mikki Isle {Jpn}), Rapier (Jpn) (Tower Of London {Jpn}), Invincible Papa (Aus) (Shalaa {Ire}), Fioraia (Jpn) (Fine Needle {Jpn}), Pair Pollux (Jpn) (Kinshasa No Kiseki {Aus}), June Blair (American Pharoah).TDN Analysis: Satono Reve is aiming to repeat his heroics from 2025. Second in a trio of Takamatsunomiya Kinens (2023-2025) is Namura Clair, who is back for another crack at Satono Reve after finishing three-quarters of a length adrift last term. Not to be forgotten is the up-and-coming Panja Tower, who won the G1 NHK Mile Cup in 2025. Mama Cocha, successful in the 2023 edition of the G1 Sprinters Stakes could also be heard from here, especially as the five mares lining up receive a five-pound break in the weights.Sunday, Saint-Cloud, post time: 16:25, PRIX EDMOND BLANC-G3, €73,200, 4yo/up, 8fTField: Dreamliner (Fr) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Narkez (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), Skukuza (GB) (Blue Point {Ire}), Un Instant (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), Trust On (Fr) (Intello {Ger}), Instant Fragile (Fr) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Native Warrior (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Silius (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Sparks Fly (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}), Moon Cloud (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}).TDN Analysis: Silius is the key player in this competitive renewal, having made light work of the course-and-distance stepping stone, the Listed Prix Altipan. He showed how much he has improved this term when readily reversing the form of the Listed Prix Tantieme again over this track and trip in November with Trust On. The latter had the unexposed filly Moon Cloud behind also here in October, but that Graffard trainee went on to land the Listed Prix Isola Bella next time, another course-and-distance prize.
