Field Set For 2012 Oka Sho

A field is set for the 2012 Oka Sho(Japanese 1000 Guineas) at Hanshin on Sunday.

Joie de Vivre, coming off third place in the March 3 Tulip Sho, could top the field of 18 fillies in the first filly classic. She gave us a great impression when winning the grade one Hanshin Juvenile Fillies at her only second start last December. The main oppositions to Joie de Vivre could be Gentildonna, I'm Yours and Verxina.
