The way Declan Bates rates Pride Of Jenni is a thing of beauty. He knows this animal unbelievably well.

Damian Lane with a winner at Tokyo today (Saturday), a lazy five for Christophe Lemaire. Lane rides Tastiera in the G1 Tenno Sho (autumn) tomorrow (Sunday) - jump time is 5.40pm AEDST.

Off Broadway… check out the win by Verity in R1 at Newcastle on Saturday. The filly is a sister to the seven-time winner Know Thyself. A bit of upside there, I reckon. Arrowfield Stud

Champions Day news: Pier to tackle Via Sistina in the G1 Stakes (Ethan Brown rides). Treasurethe Moment to run in the G1 Mile. Joe Pride still undecided which of the G1 Mile or G1 Stakes Ceowulf contests.

The Tentyris camp to see how the colt comes through his enormous Coolmore win, and they will keep an eye on weather/track conditions, before deciding whether he backs up in the G1 Champions Sprint. Zahra on Giga Kick; I believe Craig Williams will ride the 3YO colt if he starts.

On Display was super in the G1 Empire Rose yesterday when third. Sadly, she suffered a bout of colic post-race. Pleasingly, she is doing much better today. Likely to go to the paddock.

Champions Day: Leica Lucy may back up and step up to the 2000m of the G1 Champions Stakes. Jimmysstar a chance to run in the G1 Orr Stakes on Saturday week.

Just days out from the G1 Crown Oaks, a daughter of the 2011 winner, Mosheen, scores on debut in Japan.

Another five for Lemaire today, including the G1 Tenno Sho on Masquerade Ball.

Chris Waller is the new trainer of Private Harry

Sam Freedman tells Gareth Hall Tentyris is unlikely to run in the G1 Champions Sprint on Saturday if the track gets into the heavy range. Up to 25mm of rain forecast in Melbourne on the day.

A lovely day at Flemington for Oaks Day. Finally, the weather is playing ball. Now, let’s hope The Pearls can hand CJ Waller his first Oaks triumph.

Oaks Day

Very keen on The Pearls in the Oaks. She has the strongest form (against the boys), a staying pedigree, J Mac and Waller. Yes.

Good for Gary Portelli to have a stakes winner on the day Sejardan dies

She has a wicked turn of foot, Point Barrow. An exciting filly.

I’ve backed Magic Time and Pericles. #goodthanks

Ernaux (I Am Invincible x Booker) breaks through at the seventh time of asking, nailing the fav on the line in R2 at Canterbury. The 3yo filly realised $3m as a yearling.
