I joined the mahjong league with blog members yesterday as usual. The following chart shows the transition of our points this year. The dark blue line represents me.
I'm in the 3rd place currently. As you can see, the 1st place is far from us. My goal was originally to be a champion and I still don't want to give up overtaking the 1st place, but it doesn't look promising. Maybe the next time will be our final day of this season. I think my motivation of the final day will be to get the 2nd place. Anyway, I will continue practicing mahjong.
Prediction
中山記念（GII、中山、芝1800m）
My favorite : ⑥So Valiant (1st favorite)
・Looking at the results of this race in the recent years, horses who got a better rank tend to keep a relatively front position. ⑥So Valiant can not only keep a good position but also run fast in a final straight. Although his odds is low, I can't help betting on him as my favorite. In addition, I heard that Lemaire-san highly praised him, which supports my predicition. Another jockey will ride him this time, but I think it is no problem because he has an experience of being in charge of this horse before.
・In addition to him, I would like to mention ①Danon the Kid, ⑪Hishi Iguazu and ⑫Stunning Rose. All of them have a similar characteristic to ⑥So Valiant. However, ⑫Stunning Rose showed a good performance only when competing with horses in the same generation. I'm not sure how well she can do with older horses. That is why I would like to give a better evaluation to the other 2 horses.
・ Based on the above ideas, the following tickets are my conclusion.
Betting ticket
Total : ¥1,000
阪急杯（GIII、阪神、芝1400m）
My favorite : ⑦Grenadier Guards (1st favorite)
・There is no other famous horse than him in this race. I don't have any doubt that he will be within the top 3. Moreover, he is good at Hanshin Racecourse. All he has to do is to run as usual.
・On the other hand, the strength of other horses looks equivalent. I think the result of this race will be decided randomly. In other words, horses with high odds have a chance to get a high rank. That is why I would like to bet the following high-odds horses.
②Meisho Titan & ⑩Relationship : Good at starting
⑫Mikki Brillante & ⑮Ho O Amazon : Having experiences of graded races
⑭Gray in Green : Gathered the 2nd most votes in this race last year
・I bought the following TRIO ticket consisting of ⑦Grenadier Guards and 2 of 5 horses mentioned above.
Betting ticket

Total in 2023 : -21,000 (JPY)
