Racing: Repeat win on cards for Fallon

Jockey Kieren Fallon rates last year's winner Zenno Rob Roy as the one to beat in the 25th Japan Cup in Tokyo tonight.

However, the former champion British jockey insists the English-trained Ouija Board can give Japan's horse of the year, trained by Kazuo Fujisawa, a run for his money in the Group One contest over 2400m.

"I think Zenno Rob Roy's going to be very hard to beat," Fallon said.

"I know Kazuo and his team will have him spot on for the race."

Ouija Board was denied consecutive wins in the Breeders' Cup F&M Turf when runner-up to Intercontinental at Belmont Park last month.
