Overseas Expert Column by Naohiro Goda This race is over the same course and distance as the G1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas), first leg of Japanese Triple Tiara on 11th April. Outer turf is used for 1,600m races. There is long straight from the start to first turn, and wide draw is not a big disadvantage. And final straight is 473m long, and this is a very straight forward course. My first choice is JUN BLUE SKY. The 3YO colt by DURAMENTE finished second in the Listed Hagi Stakes and third in G3 Tokyo Sports Hai Nisai Stakes. Although he was beaten third in the allowance race for one time winners at Nakayama last time out, he stumbled at the start and could not run his race at all. He still managed to finish third, covering the final 600m for 34.9 seconds. I have a feeling that it is easy for this colt to graduate from this class. And 1,600m turf course at Hanshin is a suitable track for him. RAISON DU SOURIRE is out of ROBE TISSAGE, winner of the G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies over the same course and distance as this race. Although the colt by HEART’S CRY is still green and was not settled well in running last time out, he was still able to finish fourth. I believe this race’s tempo should be strong enough and RAISON DU SOURIRE should be able to run in good rhythm here. RAISON DU SOURIRE is my second choice. SPIRAL NOVA had run the races beyond 1,800m for six starts since his debut last summer and tried to run the race over 1,600m for the first time on 20th March at Nakayama. The colt by KIZUNA performed well there and finished second, beaten nose by the winner. He was settled well, tracking leaders, and finished strongly. I am sure 1,600m is a suitable trip for him. As he reproduces that form again on Sunday, I am sure he should finish within the first three. DERMA YAKUSHI is a half-brother to HAKUSAN MOON, winner of three Graded Stakes and earner of over 370 million yen. While he has temperament issue, as many of ORFEVRE’s crop has, his physical looks very gorgeous and has quality to become a Graded Stakes performer. In fact, he won the maiden by four lengths last October, which is still unforgettable. DERMA YAKUSHI is my fourth choice. VIP LANVIN has been improving race by race and finished second in the allowance race for one time winners over the same course and distance as this race on 13th March. He can adapt with any pace, as he tracks leaders when the pace is not strong, while he waits at mid-division when the pace is strong. VIP LANVIN is my fifth choice. SELECTIONS: 3. JUN BLUE SKY, 12. RAISON DU SOURIRE, 6. SPIRAL NOVA, 16. DERMA YAKUSHI & 9. VIP LANVIN -9- HK Time 11:25 A.M.
