We provide the final judgment on the condition of top contenders, graded on an S, A, B, C scale, to enhance your betting accuracy.

Key Takeaways

• Top honors (S-Grade) go to Nishino Revenant (“Improving further after a win”) and Ho O Elite (“Vibrant action”).
• Top-weighted Rohsham Park shows steady progress with an “Improved with this final work” A-Grade.
• Contenders like Stinger Glass and Struve also maintain good form with A-Grades.
• Proven horse Pradaria raises concerns with a harsh “Little to no change” C-Grade.

【S-Grade】The Absolute Best: Data Shows “Perfect Preparation”

An S-Grade is given to horses whose training reports use top-tier expressions like “perfect” or “further improvement,” and where the data clearly shows a significant step up (or sustained peak form) from their last race.

Nishino Revenant Grade: S

Final Workout Evaluation: ☆ Improving further after a winData Point (1)Final workout on Nov 5 (Wed) on the Miho Woodchip course. Timed at 65.6 – 51.0 – 37.3 – 12.0. Finished level with workmate (Grace the Crown) while “under wraps with plenty left.”Data Point (2)Jockey’s comment after the previous race, the October Stakes (1st place): “He got a bit green when he hit the front so early, but it was a very comfortable win.”

Expert’s Analysis: This is the strongest profile in the field. A horse that won its last race “comfortably” is now evaluated as “improving further.” This strongly suggests the last performance was no fluke; the horse is maturing and on a steep growth curve. The “good condition maintained” evaluation from the Oct 29 workout confirms a flawless preparation process.

Ho O Elite Grade: S

Final Workout Evaluation: ☆ Vibrant actionData Point (1)Final workout on Nov 5 (Wed) on the Miho Woodchip course (69.3 – 52.9 – 37.8 – 11.6). Jockey Keita Tosaki was aboard, tracking and finishing level with older open-class horse Grand Calinan from the inside.Data Point (2)Jockey Keita Tosaki has been aboard for three consecutive weeks of training on Oct 22, Oct 29, and the final workout on Nov 5.

Expert’s Analysis: The comment “vibrant action” is the highest praise, indicating vitality in both mind and body. More importantly, the race-day jockey, Tosaki, has been deeply involved in the training process for three weeks. This signifies perfect communication between horse and rider, and that the trainer and jockey have meticulously fine-tuned the horse’s condition based on the feel from the last race (All Comers, 5th).

Galaxy Knight Grade: S

Final Workout Evaluation: ☆ Movement is flawlessData Point (1)Final workout on Nov 5 (Wed) on the Miho Hill course, clocking 54.6 – 40.1 – 26.2 – 12.5 “under wraps with plenty left.”Data Point (2)The workout report from one week prior (Oct 30, Thu) on the Miho Woodchip course was a low “disappointing when pushed.”

Expert’s Analysis: A classic example of a “V-shaped recovery.” A week ago, despite being pushed hard, the evaluation was “disappointing.” Now, in the final workout, it has flipped to a perfect “movement is flawless.” This timeline suggests that the strenuous workout a week ago flipped a switch, leading to a sharp improvement in condition. This preparation is sufficient to expect a bounce-back from the 8th place finish in his last race.

【A-Grade】Top Contenders: Steady or “Improving”

An A-Grade is for proven G1-level or high-weighted horses. While not “perfect,” they show a steady and positive preparation for the race.

Rohsham Park Grade: A

Final Workout Evaluation: ☆ Improved with this final workData Point (1)First race since the Takarazuka Kinen in June (15th). The jockey commented then, “He started to struggle from the 4th corner.”Data Point (2)The workout report from Oct 29 (Wed) on the Miho Woodchip course was a concerning “lacked speed.”Data Point (3)The evaluation improved to “improved with this final work” after the final workout on Nov 6 (Thu) (Miho W, 79.9 – 64.7 – 50.2 – 36.4 – 11.6).

Expert’s Analysis: This shows a last-minute tuning process for a proven horse carrying the top weight of 59.5kg. A week ago, he was clearly not ready. However, in the final workout with jockey Poulsen aboard, he worked with an open-class horse, recorded a sharp time under wraps, and earned the “improving” evaluation. This data indicates the team has successfully brought him to race fitness just in time. Note, however, the evaluation is “improving,” not “perfect.”

Stinger Glass Grade: A

Final Workout Evaluation: ☆ Good condition despite layoff

Expert’s Analysis: The biggest concern for this horse was the “layoff” (time between races) since his win in the Sapporo Nikkei Sho in July. However, the training report directly refutes this concern, presenting it as a positive. He has been worked steadily on Oct 29, Nov 2, and Nov 5, indicating he is well-prepared and not hampered by the break.

Struve Grade: A

Final Workout Evaluation: ☆ Well-prepared

Expert’s Analysis: The jockey’s comments from his last race (Sapporo Kinen, 7th) suggest the tight turns and track condition were not suitable. This time, he returns to his preferred Tokyo course, and the training report is a straightforward, high evaluation of “well-prepared.” His Oct 30 workout was also positive (“no concern about falling behind”), showing a very smooth preparation process.

Other A-Grade Horses

Born This Way (Grade: A): Final evaluation “☆ Good finishing kick.” This backs up the jockey’s comment from his last race (October S, 3rd) that “he showed a new dimension” by closing from the rear.

Mystery Way (Grade: A): Final evaluation “☆ Powerful stride.” Data confirms he has maintained the strength shown in his last win (Tancho S, 1st), which was achieved with a “perfect ride.”

Hagino Aldebaran (Grade: A): Final evaluation “☆ Moved with ease.” His final workout on Nov 5 at Ritto CW (82.0 – 66.3 – 51.3 – 36.4 – 11.4) was impressive, working in company and finishing level. Both the time and movement suggest improvement from his last race (4th).

【B-Grade】Standard Level: Horses to Consider

A B-Grade is for horses whose training reports are “decent” or “improving,” lacking strong points but meeting the standard for a GII race.

• Di Maizakid (Grade: B): Final eval “☆ Steady stride.” As per comments from his last race (Mainichi Okan, 4th), he seems to be waiting for the right race setup.
• Boldog Hos (Grade: B): Final eval “☆ Decent movement.” A comeback was hoped for after his last race (Kyoto Daishoten, 10th), but the evaluation is neutral.
• Seleccion (Grade: B): Final eval “☆ Showing more agility.” His evaluation has improved from a week ago, so this can be seen as a B-Grade on the rise.
• Shonan Adib (Grade: B): Final eval “☆ Recovering and improving.”
• Meiner Campana (Grade: B): Final eval “☆ Decently prepared.”
• Wide Emperor (Grade: B): Final eval “☆ No concern about falling behind.”

【C-Grade】Data-Driven Concerns: Horses Not Showing Improvement

A C-Grade is for horses whose training reports have clear negative nuances or where data indicates a lack of improvement after a poor previous performance.

Pradaria Grade: C

Final Workout Evaluation: ☆ Little to no changeData Point (1)Finished a distant 15th in his last race, the Kyoto Daishoten.Data Point (2)The workout report from one week prior (Oct 29, Wed) was noncommittal: “Slightly better, but…”Data Point (3)The final workout evaluation on Nov 5 (Wed) at Ritto Hill was “little to no change.”

Expert’s Analysis: For a GII-winning horse, this is the most severe evaluation. After a major defeat, even the one-week-prior report was hesitant, and the final verdict points to stagnation. The data offers no reason to expect a rebound from his last performance.

Sasutsurugi Grade: C

Final Workout Evaluation: ☆ Physique is ready, but…

Analysis & Insight: Finished 16th in his last race (Niigata Kinen). The one-week-prior evaluation (10/30) was “disappointing when pushed.” A comment like “Physique is ready, but…” typically implies that the movement doesn’t match the appearance. Combined with the previous week’s report, it’s reasonable to conclude there’s no fundamental improvement.

Meisho Brege Grade: C

Final Workout Evaluation: ☆ Head a bit high

Analysis & Insight: Finished 14th in the Kyoto Daishoten. The comment “head a bit high” is a negative indicator, suggesting the horse is not relaxed and is not using its power efficiently (poor form). For a horse needing to rebound from a poor performance, a form concern is grounds for a C-Grade.
