Ampadeu’s R…
A crucial race shaping the next dirt racing season, featuring strong contenders.
Requires a unique blend of initial speed from the turf start and power for the final uphill climb.
Excellent workout, strong stable comments, and a pedigree perfectly suited for this course.
Keiai Shelby & Metamax show significant late improvement, offering high potential returns.
⚡️
Early acceleration on turf is critical, but the race is won with sustained power on the final uphill straight.
🧬
American bloodlines, especially Storm Cat and A.P. Indy lineages, dominate due to their muscularity and stamina.
🏋️♂️
Success is highly correlated with strong uphill track (hanro) workouts, indicating finishing strength.
Top Pick
Jockey: Hayato Yoshida | Stable: Ogata Kazuo (Miho)
“Definitely better than last time.” Assistant trainer’s confidence is backed by lively movement and sub-11s final furlongs. In peak physical and mental condition, maintaining weight well in winter.
Maternal grandsire Sinister Minister (A.P. Indy) provides ideal stamina for the Hanshin uphill. His 4th place in Shimotsuki Stakes with interference suggests untapped potential. A major contender for a comeback victory.
Jockey: Yutaka Ishikawa | Stable: Yoshikawa (Ritto)
Described as having an “attractive physique” and being in peak condition. Outstanding sharpness shown with a final 1F of 11.3s in a CW workout. Physical condition is considered extremely high.
Sire Palace Malice (power) and dam’s sire More Than Ready (speed) offer a perfect blend for this course. Mental growth is evident, no longer bothered by kickback. Set to perform at his best.
Jockey: Daiki Ozawa | Stable: Ishibashi (Ritto)
Rated as “well-prepared” after a strong final uphill workout (53.6s – 12.4s). He’s a horse known to improve with each race, and his current condition is considered perfect.
A “golden combination” of Sinister Minister x King Kamehameha provides the ideal mix of power, speed, and stamina. Highly suitable for the course demands.
Showed a sharp 12.2s finish in his final workout, indicating a rapid surge in condition. Blinkers could provide an extra edge. Chance for an upset.
Top-tier pedigree for this course (sire Into Mischief). A fast final workout time of 52.3s on the uphill track shows clear signs of recovery and form.
While overall evaluation is modest, a remarkable final 1F of 11.2s on the CW course cannot be ignored. Could be a major factor if the race becomes a pure sprint.
A.P. Indy line is a plus, but lacks a decisive finishing kick.
Previous race interference can be ignored. Remains a threat.
Well-bred but “unresponsive when urged” in workouts.
Doesn’t show best in workouts. Potential for race day improvement.
Racing on consecutive weekends. Could improve with aggressive style.
Maintaining condition. Speed pedigree could suit a fast pace.
Interesting pedigree, stable condition. “Well-prepared.”
8yo returning from jumps racing. “Not quite at his best.”
Uninspiring final workout, “lacking extension.”
Key factor is shedding “slightly heavy” condition from prior race.
