The Chris Waller-trained Japonisme is nominated for the Group I Moir Stakes at Moonee Valley on Friday night and he went out once the light was suitable.

Japonisme was wide out on the course proper, three-quarter speed from the 800m and not much quicker in the home straight before being allowed to dash the last 200m, timing a guess with the finish line obscured from the middle of the track.

Markers on the steeple grass were out three metres, riders reporting the ground riding in the good(4) range.

Racenet has compiled a list of times below with an analysis of the work to assist punters.

Comment

Bonneval

1400m (Steeple grass) 1:36.29

26.22

Steady early and looked in a great rhythm. Gradually built before the straight and rolled home without any pressure. Nominated for the Underwood Stakes on Sunday.

Summer Passage

1000m (Dirt) 1:05.66

24.63

On his own and a bit keen early before relaxing. Not allowed to go any faster in the straight and did this easily. Nominated for the Caulfield Guineas Prelude on Sunday.

Savile Row & Rhythm To Spare

1400m (Steeple grass) 1:35.44

600m (36.52)

Together from the off and a consistent tempo. Picked it it up from the 600m and both strong through the line, Savile Row shading the work - nominated for the Epsom Handicap at Randwick on Saturday. Rhythm To Spare nominated for the 1700m Open Handicap at Caulfield on Sunday.

The Thug

1200m (Dirt) 1:21.03

25.44

Not hurried early then warmed to the task. Keen off the bend but restrained and strong through the line. Nominated for Mornington on Saturday.

Demolition

1000m (Pro-Ride) 1:11.21

25.34

Maintenance gallop done with ease, steady early before before being allowed to roll home under his own steam.

Nozomi

1200m (Steeple grass) 1:20.33

25.03

Continues to look well. Steady early before settling into a rhythm. Quickened up before the bend and powered through the line under a hold. Nominated for three races at the weekend including the JRA Cup at Moonee Valley on Friday.

Santa Ana Lane

1000m (Steeple grass) 1:06.17

24.21

On his own and a tad casual early before stoking up from the 600m. Strong late and through the line on the bridle. Nominated for two races at Caulfield Sunday including the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes.

Badajoz

1000m (Steeple grass) 1:06.67

23.98

Sharp and keen from the off, always on the bridle and strong through the line. Nominated for the 1100m Open Handicap at Caulfield on Sunday.

Tribal Wisdom

1200m (Steeple grass) 1:19.83

24.22

Enjoyed the little bit of cut in the track and keen to get on with it before the bend, powered through the line under a good hold. Nominated for the Benchmark78 Handicap over 1400m at Caulfield on Saturday.

Radipole

1400m (Steeple Grass) 1:35.24

24.72

Taken good improvement from his first-up run. Was keen early on his own then settled into a rhythm. Ears pricked off the bend and through the line under a hold. Nominated for the Open 1700m Handicap at Caulfield on Sunday.

Mr Sneaky

1000m (Steeple Grass) 1:08.78

24.66

On his own and a touch keen early. Still well on the bridle in the straight and did this easily. Nominated for the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield on Sunday.
