The enigmatic 3-year-old Lani (Tapit) finished third in the Brazil Cup H. at Tokyo on Sunday. It was the grey's first run since he finished third to Creator (Tapit) in the GI Belmont S. in June having also run in the GI Preakness and GI Kentucky Derby. Lani was beaten three and a half lengths by Mitsuba (Jpn) (Kane Hekili {Jpn}) and Orionza Japan (Jpn) (Kurofune) conceding a kilo and two kilos respectively in a 16 runner field. Owner Koji Maeda has big plans in mind for Lani over the next six months with a return visit to Meydan on the cards for the Carnival showpiece, the G1 Dubai World Cup. Lani has already shown his affinity for the course with a win in the G2 UAE Derby in March.
