No doubt she will be sent off the top choice of the public.Sodashi: Sodashi’s performance is nothing less of spectacular. She’s a two-time Grade 1 champion at this young age, and unbeaten from five starts. All but her debut was at the graded stakes level as she jumped from her first outing to two Grade 3 events before taking on the 2-year-pinnacle Hanshin Juvenile Fillies. Last out, she captured her second Grade 1 with victory in the Oka Sho. Experience at Tokyo came in her second Grade 3, the Artemis Stakes, but the question this time is whether she can handle the distance. Her winning margins have never been more than a few lengths and in her two G1 wins, she was over the line in first by but a nose, then a neck. It could be her keen sense of competition, but it could be an indication that 2,400 meters, 600 meters longer than she’s ever experienced, may be out of her reach. Adding to the questions is the fact that she’s the daughter of Kurofune, whose progeny have claimed 40 graded stakes races, but all over no more than 1,800 meters. With her win of the Oka Sho, Sodashi became only the third filly to win the race unbeaten. If she can claim the Oaks, she’ll be the 16th to do so with a pristine record, and only the third filly to claim the first two legs of the filly triple crown unbeaten.
But there is some doubt as to whether she can get the distance.
Let's see how the white filly will answer the question!!
She was "right there" and then just lost ground in the final part of the stretch.
