Load Kanaloa to Win at the Centraur Stakes?

Champion sprinter Lord Kanaloa starts his final season from Sunday's Centaur Stakes(G2) at Hanshin.

 

Even though this G2 race is a prep race for the champion, he is ready to win the race. His previous performances including HK are no need to make further comments.

 

Additionally, this race is very important for the jockey IWATA Yasunari. He will be the summer champion jockey if he wins the race with Load Kanaloa. Now IWATA Yasunari earns 48pt for his summer results, while our star jockey TAKE Yutaka earns the same. TAKE YUTAKA will ride on a young colt, Teehaff in the same race. They have the same point for the jockeys' competition, and Centaur Stakes is the last leg of the series. If one of the two jockeys wins the race, he also wins the summer jockey title, which leads the winner to the honourable World Super Jockey Series in December.

 

Now that IWATA Yasunari rides on the expected-to-win horse, he almost clinched the title, but is it true that he will surely win the title?

 

Hakusan Moon is a good front runner and his speed got faster during the summer race. There is a handicap between the two horses, and the track bias will follow the runner (normally the opening day is very friendly for the front runner and the horse who will run along the rail). Is this a good chance to upset Lord Kanaloa?
