Orthoclase, 3, was a good third in the Grade 2 Asahi Hai St. Lite Kinen at 1 3/8 miles on turf at Nakayama Racecourse on Sept. 20 in his first start since December.
The comeback race was the foundation of an autumn campaign that continues in Sunday’s Grade 1 Japanese St. Leger at Hanshin Racecourse, a $2.38 million race formally known as the Kikuka Sho. Run at 1 7/8 miles, the Japanese St. Leger does not have as strong of a field this year as in past seasons.
Prep race completed, Tavidance has an excellent chance to win the first stakes of his career in his fifth appearance in such a race in Sunday’s $149,100 Sale Cup at Sale Racecourse in Australia.
A 6-year-old New Zealand-bred gelding, Tavidance finished fourth by a little more than 1 1/4 lengths in the Headquarters Stakes at seven furlongs at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on Oct. 2. The 5-1 co-favorite in that field, Tavidance closed from 11th in a field of 12.
Fixed odds wagering on spring classic races starts early in England and the English Derby favorite sees action Saturday at Doncaster Racecourse in England.
Luxembourg has made Swiss cheese of 11 opponents in his two races, and he’s the odds-on favorite to give trainer Aidan O’Brien his 10th win in the Vertem Futurity Trophy Stakes, formerly known as the Racing Post Trophy.

This has been a year of Group 1 appearances in Australia for the 6-year-old gelding Savatoxl, who began his career in 2018 and 2019 at tiny racecourses in Alice Springs and Darwin.
Savatoxl won the Group 1 Goodwood Stakes at six furlongs at Morphettville Racecourse, near Adelaide, on May 15, and the Group 2 Schillaci Stakes at six furlongs at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne on Oct. 9.
Savatoxl will have his debut at Moonee Valley Racecourse in Melbourne in Friday’s Group 1 Manikato Stakes at six furlongs.
Verry Elleegant, the reigning Horse of the Year in Australia, was the 5-1 third choice in the middle of the week for Saturday’s Group 1 Cox Plate, and with good reason.
The 6-year-old Verry Elleegant has not performed like a champion in advance of a start in the $3.74 million Cox Plate at Moonee Valley Racecourse in Melbourne.

A switch to longer races at Happy Valley has brought forth improved performance this Hong Kong season from Meaningful Star, who will try for his second straight win in one of the triple-features on Wednesday in Hong Kong.
The Group 3 Geelong Cup at Geelong Racecourse in Australia on Wednesday is a vital race for Melbourne Cup hopeful Tralee Rose.
As of Monday, Tralee Rose was 25th on the list of candidates for the Melbourne Cup on Nov. 2, a race limited to 24 runners. While there will be numerous changes in the prospective field for the Melbourne Cup in coming weeks, a win by Tralee Rose in the $296,720 Geelong Cup at 1 1/2 miles would certainly enhance her chances of gaining a berth in the race.
