Rousham Park is looking in top form as he prepares for his second international campaign since last year's Hong Kong Cup (where he finished 8th). Del Mar's turf course is compact, measuring about 1,400 meters per lap, and he will travel 2,400 meters in this weekend's G1 Breeders' Cup Turf. Trainer Hiroyasu Tanaka expressed optimism about the setup, saying, "A smaller track with a steady pace makes for a more manageable race. He's only run up to 2200 meters before, but the added distance will definitely work in his favour."

While his best G1 finish this year was second in the Osaka Hai, Tanaka is hopeful for an upset, adding, "He's a talented horse, and I believe he has a real chance."
