Tuesday, 29 August, 2023 18:00
In this article, we will introduce the three main contenders of the 2000m G3 Niigata Kinen recommended by netkeiba's original AI.
Pradaria
Under the tutelage of Manabu Ikezoe, he finished 5th in the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) as a three-year-old. Pradaria's most recent victory was in the 2022 G2 Aoba Sho; however, he has been placed twice in G2 events this year. Additionally, Pradaria achieved an encouraging 6th-place finish in the G1 Takarazuka Kinen in June, competing among the top horses in Japan.
Pradaria's will undoubted feature prominently with the drop back to G3 company. His sire, Deep Impact, has been responsible for three Niigata Kinen winners in the last 10 years. This appears a perfect opportunity for Pradaria to secure his second Graded Stakes success.
Saliera
The lightly raced 4-year-old filly has been placed twice in G2 races from just five career starts. Her impressive turn-of-foot will be well-suited for Niigata's long homestretch, and she has been trained at Niigata racecourse in preparation to secure her first Graded Stakes victory.
Grand Officier
A five-year-old son of King Kamehameha is a black-type winner has won in four races at the Tokyo racecourse, showcasing his proficiency for tracks with extended home stretches. He could be a strong contender for a place bet, especially if his most recent 13th place in the G3 Tanabata Sho can be disregarded.
