JRA Japan Cup Handicap Stakes

No comments available for this runner.

Cancan In The Rain shaped well when third two starts back and, carrying 140 lb from stall 12, has run over today's trip and going before; the chief concern is that he remains winless in his last five starts.

A La Noche won last time out and returns 21 days later in fine order, with experience over today's trip an asset; the main risk is that his draw in stall 11 adds an unknown dimension under a hefty 139 lb.

Signcastle City shaped with plenty of promise when third last time out and second four starts back, and our rating of 84 ranks him top of these, if only narrowly, making him a leading danger despite being yet to win in recent starts; the main concern is a trainer operating at just five per cent over the last fortnight.

Consistent without being a winner, Potomac River has finished second last time out and third two starts back, yet remains winless in his last six, and carrying 136 lb from stall nine tests his resolution further; experience over today's trip and going at least counts in his favour.
