Screen Hero wins Japan Cup race

Italian jockey Mirco Demuro guided Screen Hero to victory in the Japan Cup ahead of pre-race favourite Deep Sky.

But the English contingent of Purple Moon, Sixties Icon and Papal Bull were disappointing, finishing sixth, 11th and 14th respectively.

Screen Hero stormed from fifth to first in the final furlong to win by half a length in the 1.5 mile race, with second favourite Vodka third.

Demuro said: "It was a very competitive race, but he concentrated very well."
