This year’s Nambu Koma Sho has attracted talented horses from across the country. We will focus on the predicted top contenders, analyzing their recent performance to highlight key points.
With an undefeated 3-win streak since his debut, Dionysus is a leading candidate for the win. In his last race, the Next Star (a graded race), he secured a decisive victory with a sharp burst from a good position. His racing sense and stable front-running ability are impressive. With power inherited from his sire, Leontes, expectations are high for another graded race victory.
Having built his career in Hokkaido (Mombetsu), Alamo has demonstrated high potential with 3 wins in 4 starts. While he has primarily raced at 1200m, his pedigree from sire Thunder Snow suggests he can handle the longer distance. He will likely be a top contender by leveraging his closing speed.
A local Iwate horse with 2 wins in 5 starts. He excels at taking the lead and holding on. He won his last race on this same Morioka 1600m course, proving his suitability. His dynamic with stablemate Dionysus is interesting, but he becomes a formidable opponent if he can run his own race.
The field also includes a diverse group of dark horses, such as Reverto Dio, who has shown solid performance at Mombetsu, and Toona Study, who has a good track record in graded turf races.
We predict the race development based on past performances. Dionysus, JL Bit, and Policky are likely to push for the lead. Dionysus, in particular, is skilled at running from a good position, so while it’s uncertain if he’ll take the absolute lead, he will be a key player in controlling the race. The pace could be average or slightly fast. The key to the outcome will be the timing of the move from closers like Alamo and Toa Sagittarius, who will be saving energy at the back.
