■ Songline
[Interim adjustment]The previous race, Victoria Mile, which was a triumphant return to Japan following winning the Saudi heavy prize, was supported by the second most popular, but the winning horse Sodashi finished in 5th place with a 0 second 3 difference. He had a crying side in the rest of the development, and it can be said that he was defeated and strong considering that he lacked smoothness such as losing balance in the third corner. In anticipation of revenge, he will face the GI of the stallion opponent in the middle two weeks. He resumed entering the Baba on the 18th of the week following the race, and on the 25th he was able to set his first clock on the slope, although it was regarding 15-15, and it seems that there was little reaction from the previous race. He was chased a week before the anomaly, but on Friday the 27th, Jockey Tsumura rode and digested the horse. Although the legs were accumulated with emphasis on the end, the last 1F 11 seconds 1 was marked as a horse. He has easily passed the 3-year-old 1-win class.
[Final run-off]In the final run-off, the main battle, Jockey Ikezoe, rushed to Miho and was a horse with wood. In the early stages, the emphasis is on rhythm, but the horse is lively and the pace naturally increases. In the straight line, he passed the target horse early, but he didn’t hesitate even if he got out, and cut it as if he was treating the opponent who was chasing him as a child.
[Opinion]The previous run is a GI returning from overseas. Of course, there are concerns regarding recoil, but as far as the movement is concerned, it is possible to emphasize the buildup rather than the recoil. Looking at the other Victoria Mile groups, this horse was the only one who put out the clock firmly one week ago. It’s no problem to run at tight intervals, as if I was in 2nd place in the NHK Mile Cup, which was 3 weeks following the Oka Sho (15th place) last year. He was in good shape during the previous run, but the atmosphere is likely to rise further and his abilities will be fully developed.
