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.

Im sure you have seen Seeking the Dia and Time Paradox run.

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.

Seeking the Dia came so close last year..... really hope he can do it this time and agree that Time Paradox will be right up there with him.

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?
