[Intermediate adjustment]He won the Hakodate Sprint S, which was his first match with an old horse, by two and a half lengths. In the following race, the Kitakyushu Kinen, he was the favorite and finished 3rd, but the 16th frame of the 18 horses at Kokura was really unfavorable, and there was an accident in the straight line where the horse that got tired and came down was a hindrance. So if the difference is 0 seconds and 2 seconds, you can say that you are strong even if you lose. After the previous run, they took a short break through grazing, and are making progress toward the Sprinters Stakes as originally planned. On September 10th, he loosened up his body on the slope 14-14, and on the 15th, the commander, Shigeru Hasegawa, rode and performed an exquisite acceleration lap on the slope last 2F 12 seconds 6-12 seconds 0 (horse). And one week ago, Hamanaka jockey rode and performed a slope match horse.

[Final catch-up]Shows a spectacular movement one week before, and minor adjustments are OK for the week of the race. On this day, Mr. Hasegawa rode and advanced with a good rhythm in the early stages and accumulated his legs firmly.
[Opinion]To reiterate, the content of the one-week follow-up was overwhelming. The numbers are personal best updates, but the load is just a little more at the end. It was a run that almost didn’t shake the axis and was able to convert the power it had into propulsion without any loss. Even in the final chasing, he keeps a good balance like a horse. The reaction to the mechanism is also sharp, and both body and mind are sharpened. Excellent condition without complaint.
