First the track: Looks like rain so it might be in a muddy condition. 

Second, the horse’s type of style: China’s running style: stalker/presser, (these are tactical horses that sit comfortably just a few lengths behind the front-runners. They conserve energy in the shadow of the leaders and make their move to take over as the pacesetters begin to tire). Closer (these horses naturally drop directly to the back of the pack early on. They save all their energy for one massive, explosive surge down the homestretch to run down the tiring leaders), and this horse likes to run in any kind of conditions. 

Iran’s running style: Front-runner/Pacesetter: these horses love to bolt straight to the front immediately. They do their best work when they can establish an early lead and dictate the tempo of the race on their own terms. Mid-Pack: These horses are highly adaptable horses that run comfortably right in the thick of the field, adjusting their strategy on the fly based on how the race dynamics unfold, and this horse is not afraid of the mud.

Russia’s running style: Frontrunner (strong out of the gate), and this horse likes a dry track. It hasn’t done well its last few times out. The reasons: Seems they can’t even beat Ukraine. Financing is not the best. No real army, (convicts and mercenaries). Equipment: cold war leftovers, some old missiles and new drones.
