Grandezza Favorite For Satsuki Sho

As of Saturday, Grandezza has been installed as the 3.9 favorite for the 2012 Satsuki Sho(Japanese 2000 Guineas) on Sunday. Last time out, Grandezza made seasonal debut with great performance four weeks ago when winning the Spring Stakes, one of the key preps for the Satsuki Sho.

The 4.0 second favorite went to World Ace, who comes into the race off victories in the Wakaba Stakes and the grade three Kisaragi Sho. Deep Brillante, who finished second behind Grandezza in the Spring Stakes, was the 6.0 third favorite followed by Gold Ship, the 6.9 fourth favorite, who beat Deep by a 1 3/4-length when winning the grade three Kyodo News Service Hai at Tokyo on February 12.
