Lemaire and Chrono Genesis head three Japanese Arc hopefuls in Takarazuka Kinen

Japan's quest for a first win in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe reaches a crucial juncture at Hanshin on Sunday. Three of the nation's six entries line up in a race which could be described as the Japanese equivalent of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Chrono Genesis topped the poll and is a best-priced 20-1 for the Arc. Christophe Lemaire will ride her for first time after a dramatic accident in May. Lei Papale is also on the 20/1 mark and will be ridden by Yuga Kawada.
