The Japanese tote has Sadamu Patek, to be ridden by Craig Williams, as favourite for tomorrow's G1 at Fuchu on 7.0.

Whale Capture placed in all three legs of last season's fillies' triple crown, got her due G1 win in the $US2.3 million Victoria Mile in Tokyo on Sunday, foilinbg another G1 win for Australian jockey Craig Williams aboard the runner-up Donau Blue.

Whale Caputre, a lovely grey horse, has never finished worth than fifth place but did not have too many "1" s before her name.

Craig Williams, currently enjoying a mini-season in Japan, will be aboard Donau Blue, who was beaten at Nakayama but won her 2 starts before that.

The Oka Sho (1000 Guineas) is now a very open race indeed as Michael Tabart's Hana's Gold has had to be withdrawn due to injury.
