Summer time will start again this Sunday.
I feel that the period of the standard time ends so soon.
Anyway, it is good that the time difference between Germany and Japan becomes shorter.
Life in Germany
Sushi restaurant
I went to a sushi restaurant in Heidelgerg with other Japanese expats because the restrictions for COVID-19 is getting relaxed.
This party was held in order to celebrate the end of this fiscal year.
(The situation of our company is not so good enough to celebrate...)
The host of this party was our CEO, who is not a Japanese.
Therefore, the standard language of this party was English.
I felt that my English listening and speaking skill was improved compared to before, but it was not so good as other expats.
I would like to improve it more and more in the next one or two years.
By the way, the sushi restaurant was so nice.
I could enjoy not only sushi but also Kirin beer and eda-mame.
I didn't know that there was such a good restaurant in Heidelberg.
I would like to repeat it someday.
I'm sorry, but I forgot to take a photo of the food.
Prediction
日経賞（GII、中山、芝2500m）
Favorite : ⑫Asamano Itazura (3rd popular)
・The most popular horse in this race is of course ⑪Titleholder. It's natural because he won easily in 菊花賞 (GI) last year. However, his low odds makes me reluctant to bet him. I also have some concerns about this horse. First, he is likely to run badly when he can't be in a leading position. Next, Mr. Takeshi Yokoyama, who led this horse to the victory in 菊花賞, won't ride him this time. That is why I decided to exclude ⑪Titleholder from my betting tickets.
・On the other hand, the horse which Mr. Takeshi Yokoyama will ride is ⑫Asamano Itazura. This jockey should know how strong ⑪Titleholder is. In other words, he should know how to beat ⑪Titleholder. The horse itself is also strong and he won a graded race held in Nakayama Racecourse.
・Besides ⑫Asamano Itazura, ⑥Boccherini and ⑦Heat on Beat look good because they have been within top 3 in some graded races.
・I bought a box type of quinella tickets consisting of the above 3 horses.
Betting ticket
Total : ￥1,000
毎日杯（GIII、阪神、芝1800m）
Favorite : ④Piece of Eight (3rd popular)
・I focused on his last race, where he ran so fast in the last straight. Moreover, it was held in the exactly same place and distance as this race. If he can run in the same way, he should get a good rank today.
・In addition to ④Piece of Eight, I'm interested in ②Command Line and ⑧Tendence. This is because I have ever selected these horses as my favorite. I would like to rely on them again.
・I bought quinella tickets, where one is ④Piece of Eight and the other is ②Command Line or ⑧Tendence.
