■ 1351 Turf Sprint Expected for Songline’s Consecutive Victory
Last yearsong lineIn the final straight line, Kasakureed and Happy Romance beat each other by a neck difference. From Japan, led by last year’s champion, Songline,bass rat leon,Laudation,Resistencia4 horses were scheduled to run. Happy Romance and Casa Creed, who played a close race until just before the finish last year, are also scheduled to run this year.
In advance odds, the song line, which was the winner last year and then won the Yasuda Memorial, was the most popular with 3.25 times. Basrat Leon, who also ran in last year’s Prix de Jacques Lemarois (France GI, 1600m), was the second favorite with 4.33 times, and Resistencia was the third favorite with 7.00 times, and Japanese horses dominated the top ranks.
The rival horses are last year’s top two horses. Casa Creed, who finished second last year, is backed by 11.00 times from her performance up to 1400m so far, but she finished ninth in the most recent Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. Also, although Happy Romance, which finished third last year, is gaining popularity at 11.00 times, it will not be able to win a victory in 2022.
I would like to pay attention to whether Songline will win back-to-back in this race where Japanese horses are dominant.

Red Sea Turf H pays attention to Steyer confrontation between Japan and Europe
Last year, Stay Foolish snatched Hana from the start and ran away. Showing off his abundant stamina, it was a landslide victory with a gap of four and a half lengths from the runner-up.This year’s Japanese horses have a wealth of achievements in long distancessilver sonicand is improving this yearEhitoparticipates. Both of them are supported by top popularity and are expected to play an active role here as well.
His rival is Trollerman, who finished third in the British Champions Long Distance C (GII, turf 3200m). Looking at the past data, it boasts a winning rate of 42.9%[3.0.2.2]in races over 2400m, and there are signs of a good run in this race as well.
Also keep an eye on the revival of Europe’s leading stayers and subjectivists. After winning the 2021 British Gold Cup (GI, turf 3990m), he left the front line, but returned in this race. In the past, he won the Royal Oak Prix (France GI, 3100m) in 20 years, and has a wealth of achievements in long-distance races. Although it is after a long rest, it is an existence that cannot be taken lightly.
Whether it’s the Japanese stayer winning consecutive titles or the European powerhouses running fiercely, famous horses with stamina will clash.

■Can the new star of the American dirt world be beaten in the Saudi derby?
Last year, Sekifuu and Consigliere entered the race, but lost to American Pinehurst. Although he failed to win the Japanese-trained horse’s third straight victory, he showed a good race that was just one step away from victory.
Take revenge this year,Continoir,Dermasotokake,Ecoloares,fromdusk4 horses will run. Among Japanese horses, Continoir and Delmasotogake, who have a track record of winning the dirt 1600m, are strong. The odds are 9.00 times the second most popular and both have received strong support.
However, the big favorite would be Haven Amelt Down, who has already won three graded race wins in the American dirt world. Although he has only raced up to 1,400m on dirt roads, he won last year’s Best Pal S (US GIII, DA 1200m) with a race record of 1:10.22. leaving
