This weekend's racing will feature two graded stakes. This article will introduce you to the three main contenders for the G3 Leopard Stakes which will be run at Niigata Racecourse on Sunday.
Mikki Fight, who won his Newcomers and 1 Win Class, finished third in his latest start, the G3 Unicorn Stakes. The two horses that finished ahead of him, Ramjet and Satono Epic, also placed in this year's Jpn1 Tokyo Derby, which indicates that his third-place finish was quite impressive considering the level of competition.
In his second-to-last race, a 1 Win Class event, Mikki Fight triumphed with a five-length victory over Blue Sun, who later won this year's Jpn3 Kumotori Sho. Although Mikki Fight has yet to secure a graded stakes victory, his performances against such strong contenders suggest that he possesses the ability to win at this level. With a pedigree that includes his brother Jun Light Bolt, the winner of the 2022 G1 Champions Cup, Mikki Fight has the breeding to excel. He stands a strong chance of capturing his first graded stakes win in the upcoming Leopard Stakes.
In his latest start in a 1 Win Class race, Logi Adelaide broke well, quickly taking the lead. He set his own pace throughout the race, and despite being challenged around the final turn, he pulled away in the stretch to win by two lengths. Having consistently been in the mix in previous 1 Win Class races, this victory was well-deserved.
This will be his first race at Niigata, but Logi Adelaide has shown stable performances across various tracks, demonstrating his adaptability. His ability to perform well in different racecourses suggests he should handle Niigata without any issues. This will also be his first attempt at a graded stakes race, but if he can utilize his strong early speed, he could certainly be a contender.
Mikki Crest made an impressive debut by winning the Newcomers race with a four-length lead over Terrific Plan, who subsequently won a 1 Win Class race. In his second start, he challenged the Listed Hosu Stakes and finished third despite being relatively inexperienced. Although he was distanced from the top two finishers, his ability to avoid a significant drop in performance demonstrated his potential.
In his latest race, a 1 Win Class, Mikki Crest tracked the mid-pack during the race. He began his advance with 1000 meters remaining, moving up to third place by the final turn. Responding well to the jockey's urging in the straight, he quickly took the lead and extended it to secure his second win. Although the competition level will be higher in this graded stakes race, his previous performances suggest he has significant potential and can hold his own against this stronger field.
