Raced over 1600m turf and now back at Hanshin this G1 is always super competitive.

It has been the race that has been the kick off for many great careers. And the 2023 edition may see another superstar emerge.

There doesn't seem to be much difference between Corazon Beat, a daughter of Suave Richard, who won her last race in record time and has a bit more experience than some of the others and who is on around 5.2, and Safire, a Hearts Cry filly who has already run second in a G1, on 5.5.

Ascoli  Piceno is by Daiwa Major with a group win to her name and odds of 5.9 and we have to have something on Catfight by Discrete Cat who has won two of her 3 starts and is on 6.9, and Lucifer on 8.9 the mount of visiting Kazachstani jockey Murzabayev.
