Riding the flow and taking the Sprinter's Stakes and Hankyu Hai,

The No. 1 favorite, No. 16, Night Feather!

She won the Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp, and is the current 1200m record holder

The second favorite, No. 5, Agnes Earth!

And the third favorite is Heart Myself, who has a track record of defeating that Taiki Shuttle

But it's not just a showdown between the two strongest in this Takamatsunomiya Kinen, there's a whole cast lined up

Is there anyone in particular we should look out for, Hosoe-san?

Well, there is

No. 7, Seinaru Hikari, for one

Her condition before the race is good, and today her determination appears to be on full display as well
