Two graded stakes will be featured in this weekend's racing action at Hanshin and Nakayama Racecourses. Our original AI will guide you through some of the notable runners in the G2 Nakayama Kinen.
Elton Barows finished fourth last time out in his first G1 start in the Mile Championship and showed his potential in this class. He won two graded stakes, the G3 Radio Nikkei Sho and the G2 Mainichi Okan before running in the Mile Championship. Both races were run over 1800m, which is the same as Nakayama Kinen. He finished ahead of the G1 NHK Mile Cup winner Schnell Meister and G1 Yasuda Kinen winner Songline in the Mainichi Okan. This field is weaker than those two races and he has a massive chance of winning this race.
Hishi Iguazu won last year's Nakayama Kinen after coming back from a long break. He showed why he was placed in both domestic and international G1s. Being eight years of age might concern some people but he came in third in the G1 Hong Kong Cup last time out. He is running in G2 company and the field is definitely weaker compared to racing against the likes of Romantic Warrior and Luxembourg.
Elusive Panther has not been placed at this level but performed consistently finishing close to the placings. He finished sixth in the G1 Mile Championship and finished not too far behind Elton Barows. This race condition and distance suits him and, if he could perform as he used to, he could finish above third place.
