Ridden by Joao Moreira for Noriyuki Hori the son of Maurice (JPN) knuckled down in the closing stages to reel in the free-striding Kizuna colt Ho O Purosangue to win by three-quarters of a length with the Suave Richard filly Regaleira a neck back in third.

A ¥495,000,000 ($5.3m) Select Sale purchase for Masahiro Noda’s Danox Co. Ltd., Danon Ayers Rock (JPN) was appearing for the first time since breaking his maiden for Damian Lane over the same course and distance on June 11.

The 2yo son of Maurice (JPN) is a half-brother to triple Group III winner Primo Scene (Deep Impact), who was runner-up in the Group 1 Victoria Mile at Tokyo., who is the best of four winners from seven to race for Mosheen.
