Sunday, Hanshin, Japan, post time: 3.40 p.m., ASAHI HAI FUTURITY STAKES-G1, ¥135,480,000, 2yo, 1600mT
Field: Good Piece (GB) (Kingman {GB}), White Orchid (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Ecoro Alba (Jpn) (Mozu Ascot), Cosmo Red (Jpn) (California Chrome), Storm Thunder (Jpn) (Henry Barows {Jpn}), Tagano Aralia (Jpn) (Mr Melody), Corteo Soleil (Jpn) (Win Bright {Jpn}), Cavallerizzo (Jpn) (Saturnalia {Jpn}), Spe Luce (Jpn) (Rey De Oro {Jpn}), Diamond Knot (Jpn) (Bricks And Mortar), Kakuuchi (Jpn) (Admire Mars {Jpn}), Admire Quads (Jpn) (Real Steel), Realize Sirius (Jpn) (Poetic Flare {Ire}), Red Ligare (Jpn) (Maurice {Jpn}).
TDN Analysis: Admire Quads looms large here, but only a head separated him and Cavallerizzo in the G2 Daily Hai Nisai Stakes. G3 Saudi Arabia Royal Cup hero Ecoro Alba is another attempting to remain perfect, while the same can be said for the G3 Niigata Nisai Stakes scorer Realize Sirius. There are also a trio of first-out winners stepping up to group class for the first time, including White Orchid and Cosmo Red.
