G1 – 2000m – Turf

1

Hohelied

A maiden class winner. Finished 2nd at G3 in March but showed little in the recent two starts.

2

Mi Anhelo

Sire Duramente has produced the winner in the G1 Sprinters Stakes in September. Finished a neck further in second in the G2 Shion Stakes over the distance last time.

3

Queen’s Walk

Sibling to Grenadier Guards, the 2020 G1 Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes winner. Yet to win the previous two Japanese fillies’ classics, but won the G2 Rose Stakes (2000m) decisively last time.

4

Tagano Elpida

She should relish this 2000m trip as she won a listed race over 2000m with the fastest time for the last 600m in April and finished 2L fourth in the G2 Rose Stakes over this trip last time.

5

Cervinia

The G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) (2400m) winner loves the left-handed course with three wins and one second, but finished disappointingly over the right-handed course when 13th in the G1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas) (1600m).

6

Rabbiteye

Won at maiden class. Finished disappointing 15th on her return from a break of around six months in the G2 Rose Stakes (2000m) last time.

7

Chilcano

Three wins at lower classes. Showed a good turn of foot for a 0.8L win in the 2-win class (2000m) at Chukyo last time.

8

Koganeno Sora

A four-time winner over 1800m, including the latest G3 Queen Stakes in July. The 2400m was not her distance when finishing disappointing 12th in the G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks). 2000m should not be her big concern.

9

Admire Belle

A half-sister to the G1 winner Admire Lead won the G2 Flora Stakes over the distance at Tokyo in April but came off a disappointing 9th in the G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) (2400m) last time.

10

Bond Girl

Purchased at 2022 JRHA Select Sale Yearling Session for 231,000,000 yen. Yet to win any group races but showed her talent, with three seconds and one third. Can produce a strong finish.

11

Lance Of Queen

Stepped up to the G1 class after winning the maiden race and finished well fifth in the G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) (2400m) in May. She loves the trip, finishing in the top three in three starts over the distance.

12

Lavanda

Finished 2nd in the G2 Flora Stakes (2000m) in April but finished out of frame in the recent two runs.

13

Christmas Parade

After disappointing ninth finish over dirt in the JPN G2 at NAR-Kawasaki, she returned her form and marked her first group race success in the G2 Shion Stakes (2000m) last time. 

14

Stellenbosch

Showed consistency to finish in the top two in all six starts from 1600m to 2400m. Finished 2nd, 1st and 2nd in the last three G1 races. 

15

Sekitoba East

Missed to finish on the board for the first time when seventh in the G1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas) over 1600m.  Took the lead until last stretch and finished well third in the G2 Rose Stakes for her first 2000m trip.
