In Anjing Zhen's eyes, these two Horse Girls were the opponents who demanded the most attention.
Futanari Shingang had a powerful Final Burst. In her Debut Race, her Last Spurt had clocked an astonishing 33.3.
In the previous G2 Kyodo News Service Cup, she had faced many rivals renowned for their Final Bursts, yet she had still won the race.
By comparison, Noda Gold's Final Burst, though respectable, had not reached the top level for this race.
The problem was that this Horse Girl had won the Asahi Hai last year.
That had been a G1 Race, and one of the few G1s before the Classic races, carrying the significance of "determining the strongest newcomer." Its entrants were all Horse Girls with the most outstanding training and debut performances, so its prestige spoke for itself.
Having gone through a race like that, leaving aside everything else, Noda Gold's race experience was undoubtedly the best in the entire venue.
The appearance of opponents like this was also the greatest difference between Major Races and OP or Pre-OP level races.
Anyone who could set foot in the Shining Series, especially at the Central level, already stood among the forefront of her generation in overall ability.
And entering Major Races meant that, alongside outstanding fundamentals in every area, they also possessed a particular strength capable of defeating their opponents.
At this level of competition, one option was to defeat the opponent through a head-on collision with their strength.
Another was to leverage one's own strengths while avoiding weaknesses, matching the opponent through an exceptional performance in one's own specialty.
Or, through sufficiently careful planning, find a way to prevent the opponent from bringing their advantage into play.
Since he had brought Kitasan Black this far, Anjing Zhen naturally had comprehensive plans in place,
