I'll take any inside look into Ballydoyle that I can get, and tbh the production value is pretty good. Here's hoping he actually delivers on the big day, it's a big gamble and they're giving it plenty of hype.

Goliath and Shin Emperor at over 30-1 is pretty great value.

The real odds in the JRA's pari-mutuel on the race day will be very much different from those projected odds shown in Netkeiba.com.
At this point, I would just imagine that Goliath will be around the 5th favorite (10/1) of the public and Shin Emperor will be around the 9th favorite (25/1), while I agree with Netkeiba's projection that either Do Deuce or Cervinia will be sent off as the favorite.
The Japan Cup this year will be a wonderful version attracting ten G1 winners!
