Mick Kinane has picked up what looks a decent ride in Sunday's Arima Kinen - an event billed as the world's biggest betting race.
Japanese punters get involved in their masses in the mile-and-a-half Grade One, which is run at Nakayama racecourse.
Last year it was the scene of the great Deep Impact's final outing and he signed off with victory, while the horses who finished second through to sixth - Pop Rock, Daiwa Major, Dream Passport, Meisho Samson and Delta Blues could all be back.
Kinane will be on board the progressive Roc de Cambes, who took third from an impossible position in the Kikuka Sho - the final leg of the Japanese three-year-old triple crown.
