Analysis: Soul Rush’s 10.9 seconds in its penultimate workout stands out. This sharpness is a key weapon for winning G1 races. Ascoli Piceno’s 11.2 seconds is also excellent, indicating high potential.
S-Tier
Workout on the uphill track is “still excellent.” The defending champion shows signs of growth and clear improvement after a second race, with no apparent weaknesses.
S-Tier
Recorded a shocking 50.5s for 4F “bana-nari.” This may represent an “awakening” beyond good form. Has the aura of a potential upset winner.
A+ Tier
The 10.9s in its penultimate CW workout was astonishing. Shows determined preparation for its first G1 victory.
A+ Tier
Showed sharp movement on CW with no signs of returning from overseas. Improved mental “concentration” is significant.
A+ Tier
Movement at Miho is powerful and consistent. Maintaining good form since the Mainichi Okan victory.
Dark Horse
Shows improvement indicated by the “↗” arrow. Its 11.6-second final furlong sharpness cannot be overlooked.
Dark Horse
Has close contact with jockey Nishimura, and also shows an “↗” arrow. This previous 4th-place finisher is showing signs of resurgence.
This year’s Mile Championship promises to be a high-level race. Lavanda’s explosive workout times, Jantar Mantar’s champion-like consistency, and Soul Rush’s intense sharpness are the most significant factors likely to influence the race’s outcome.
