Red Warrior has proven too good for Class 3 handicaps in Hong Kong and judging from his performance he probably can handle the featured Class 2 handicap on Wednesday night at Happy Valley Racecourse.

Red Warrior is one of a dozen in the main body of the featured eighth race, the $249,046 Tokyo Handicap, a 1,650-meter race for horses rated 80 to 100. Red Warrior is up to a rating of 86 after the Hong Kong handicapper boosted him eight points following an eye-catching win Oct. 18, and the 3-year-old, three races into his Hong Kong career, has risen 15 rating points.

Lys Gracieux roared home from the back of a 17-horse field to win the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup on Sunday at Kyoto Racecourse in Japan. The win was one of five on the card for jockey Joao Moreira, who landed his first Group 1 race while riding in Japan this season.

Seventeen fillies and mares are entered to race 2200 meters, 1 3/8 miles, on Sunday at Kyoto Racecourse in the Group 1, $954,612 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. And nobody seems to have a strong sense of who will be winning.

California Whip and Jolly Banner are top-rated while Little Giant is the big mover on ratings in the featured Panasonic Cup Handicap on Saturday at Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong.

The Panasonic Cup, a Class 1 for horses rated between 110 and 85 by the Hong Kong handicapper, is a 1400-meter race around one bend. It’s the eighth of 10 races with post time scheduled for 3:35 a.m. Eastern.
