This weekend's racing will consist of two Grade 2 races on Sunday and Monday with exciting three-year-old prospects. In this article, our original AI will introduce the three main contenders in the Shuka Sho (Japanese St. Leger) Trial G2 Rose Stakes on Sunday.

She made a late debut in March and she showed an explosive late sprint to win impressively by four lengths against experienced horses in her debut race. In her following start in the G2 Flora Stakes, she raced in mid-pack and finished a strong third. Unfortunately, she didn't secure a spot in the G1 Japanese Oaks but considering her limited racing experience and the fact that she was slightly squeezed in the straight, her performance against graded stakes company was quite promising.
In her most recent outing in the 1 Win Class Macau Jockey Club Trophy, she demonstrated a different style of racing where she tracked the leaders in fourth position at the front before taking the lead and securing her second career victory. With only three starts, she has yet to reveal her full potential and her ability to compete at the graded stakes level has already been proven in the Flora Stakes. As she gains more experience and potentially improves, she should be considered a strong contender for her first graded stakes victory.

She is a talented filly who won her first two starts including the G3 Artemis Stakes. In this race, she was the only one to challenge Liberty Island, the dual classic-winning filly this year. While she faced wide draws and couldn't produce top results in races like the G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies and the G1 Oka Sho, her performance in the G1 Japanese Oaks where she finished fourth was quite impressive.
In the Oaks where closers dominated the finish, she showed her quality by briefly taking the lead from a stalking position. She's coming into the Rose Stakes as the highest-placed filly from the Oaks. While she'll face tough competition, considering her past performances she has a good chance, and we can expect her to gain momentum on her path towards a G1 victory.

In her most recent race in Sapporo, she tracked the leaders and unleashed a powerful finishing kick in the straight to win convincingly for her second career victory. While it took her some time to secure her first win after her debut, she has found her stride with two wins in her last three starts.
This time, she is stepping up to a graded stakes race for the first time, but in her debut race, she ran a close second to Sing That Song, the winner of the G2 Fillies' Revue. This suggests that she has the ability to compete at the graded stakes level and she is certainly one to watch in this upcoming race.
