The G1 Group

(THU) March 6th, 2025

8:37 p.m. Checking out the horses entered in Yayoi-sho especially, the ones that ran in a G1 race previously. There are four of them in all.

On the premise that the pace won't be tight, basically I should choose horses that finished first or second. That means Museum Mile can't be left out, no matter how favored he might be. Aw, that's daunting when Miyuki is riding. The horse has been performing better in small-field races, so I'm guessing it would be better to draw a middle to slightly outward post. He might prefer a soft track as well since he probably has power.

The remainig three I'm afraid, all depend on conditions. Faust Rasen has swept up from the outside in Hopeful Stakes. If he could do the same race again, he probaly deserves attraction however, there's the risk of left-over damage from his high performance in Hopeful Stakes.

Claudiai's instantaneous speed is fascinating, but he also seems to dislike locked in the field. In addition, it seems harder for him to go up front.

Ask Stein may be more interesting in that sense if he could make a good start to take the lead. If the track gets soft, it would advantage him even more.

My current evaluation for the G1 group would be Museum Mile, Ask Stein, Faust Rasen, then Claudiai.

The End
