Overseas Expert Column by Naohiro Goda We are right in the era of distinguished fillies and mares. In 2020, , winner of the G1 Spring, is only male thoroughbred who managed to win G1 races with no age or gender restriction on turf in Japan. It is an extraordinary result that rest of G1s, including , Osaka Hai, , Takarazuka Kinen, , Tenno Sho Autumn, , , and , were all won by female thoroughbred in 2020.

This tendency is still lasting and my top selections for the G1 Takarazuka Kinen are female runners.

My favourite is CHRONO GENESIS, who tries to become the second horse to achieve the back-to-back win of the Takarazuka Kinen, after who won the race to conclude the first half of season in 2013 and 2014. In addition to winning Takarazuka Kinen by six lengths, the 5YO mare by captured the G1 Arima Kinen, the year-end championship race in Japan, by neck in December 2020. And CHRONO GENESIS made a trip to Dubai in March and finished second to MISHRIFF, who is arguably the best older middle distance runner in Europe, in the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic. CHRONO GENESIS holds the entry of the G1 Prix de I’Arc de Triomphe at ParisLongchamp in October, and I believe Takarazuka Kinen is a stepping-stone to success in the Arc for CHRONO GENESIS.

While CURREN BOUQUETD’OR has never won any Graded Stakes yet, the 5YO mare by finished second in three G1s in 2019, including the G1 Japan Cup. And she finished third in the G1 Tenno Sho Spring at Hanshin on 2nd May and proved she is still keeping her top form. The mare trained by Sakae Kunieda has been breezed twice a week at Miho Training Centre since the end of May and she is in good shape. CURREN BOUQUETD’OR is versatile and consistent, and I believe she puts up a good fight at Hanshin on Sunday.

My third choice is LEI PAPALE, who won the G1 Osaka Hai at Hanshin on 4th April by four lengths. The 4YO filly by DEEP IMPACT is still unbeaten through six starts and is improving like a skyrocket. On the other hand, she was unmarked in Osaka Hai and her front-running tactics worked very well. Opponents pay much attention on her in the Takarazuka Kinen and this race is the touchstone of her true ability.

While KISEKI has not won a race since October in 2017, he finished second in the Takarazuka Kinen in 2019 and 2020. It is obvious that he likes Hanshin, where he started nine times, won once, finished second for four times, and third twice. He ran bravely and finished fourth in the G1 FWD QEII CUP at Sha Tin on 25th April and I have the impression that the 7YO horse by RULERSHIP is still hale and hearty. KISEKI is my fourth choice.

UNICORN LION, winner of the G3 Naruo Kinen at Chukyo on 5th June is now improving dramatically, and the Irish-bred horse by NO NAY NEVER is my fifth choice.

SELECTIONS: 7. CHRONO GENESIS, 10. CURREN BOUQUETD’OR, 2. LEI PAPALE, 13. KISEKI & 1. UNICORN LION
