This is a preview for five 2-year-old newcomer races on November 15, 2025, at Tokyo, Kyoto, and Fukushima. It provides a thorough analysis of noteworthy horses, using data from training, stable comments, and AI evaluations to identify risks and potential value beyond mere reputation.
“Big-name Feel” Danon Presage’s Debut
Danon Presage is the overwhelming favorite (2.3x odds), but mental fragility is a concern. The stable’s two-horse entry, particularly Shinyanga with C. Lemaire, presents a strong challenge.
Rated A+ in training, but the stable warns “temperament is key.” The low odds may not fully price in the mental risk.
| Horse Name | Odds | Expert Marks | Training | Stable Comment | Expert View |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Danon Presage | 2.3x | ◎ 4 | Ample (A+) | “Temperament is key” | Outstanding ability, but with mental risks. |
| Wild Mule | 5.6x | ◯ 2, ▲ 2 | Notable 1-furlong extension (A) | “If it can relax” | Temperament issues. Appears well-prepared. |
| Shinyanga | 5.6x | ◯ 1, ▲ 2 | Average time, good extension (B+) | “Looking forward to its debut” | Lemaire aboard + strong comment. Stable’s favorite? |
| Miesta | 7.6x | ▲ 1 | Relaxed response (A) | “Can use its legs for a long time” | High bloodline appeal. |
Well-bred Satono Flare vs. the Assassin from Ritto
A gateway to the classics. Satono Flare’s training performance suggests high reliability, while another popular horse appears over-valued.
Exceptional workout, moving on par with older open-class horses. Trainer comments suggest classic distance potential, indicating high reliability.
Popularity (5.1x odds) is driven by jockey C. Lemaire, not performance. Lagged significantly in final workout. A typical “dangerous favorite” to downgrade.
Overwhelming Favorite, (Foreign-bred) Princess Moco
A “sure bet” with top expert evaluation, overwhelming training performance, and positive stable comments. The focus shifts to picking the second and third place finishers.
(8) Miravellita is the logical choice over (7) Litsea due to strong stable endorsement for its distance suitability, whereas Litsea has distance concerns.
Clash of the Top 4, Risk Assessment is Key
The day’s most difficult race. The top 4 contenders are closely matched, each with a specific risk. The key is deciding which risk is most acceptable. (7) Grace Jeanne is considered most reliable as its “incomplete preparation” risk is less fatal than gate or temperament issues.
| Horse Name | Odds | Return (Strength) | Risk (Concern) |
|---|---|---|---|
| (7) Grace Jeanne | 3.9x | Training A+. Good spirit. | Incomplete preparation. |
| (13) Hayabusa Saki-chan | 4.7x | C. Demuro aboard. “Moved nimbly.” | Temperament issues. |
| (15) Danon Prelude | 4.8x | Yahagi stable, well-bred. | Gate issues. |
| (11) Enbluecha | 5.5x | Yutaka Take aboard. No gate issues. | 0.2s behind in final training. |
AI Evaluation vs. Stable’s True Feelings
A complex race where expert picks, AI rankings, and stable comments conflict. The top favorites have cautious comments, while a lesser-known horse has strong backing.
Despite low expert marks, this horse has the strongest stable comment of any horse analyzed: “Honest, easy to control… I’m looking forward to it.” This signals high intent to win and offers the greatest betting value at 5.9x odds.
| Horse Name | Odds | AI Rank | Stable Comment | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shogun Masamune | 3.7x | 4 | “Will improve with racing.” | Reputation-driven. Incomplete. |
| Kaias | 5.2x | 1 | “Gradually showing more forwardness.” | AI pick, but stable is cautious. |
| Ho O Strike | 5.5x | 3 | “Still shows some immaturity.” | Unfinished. |
| Shinshoku | 5.9x | 2 | “Looking forward to it.” (Stable ◎) | Value bet. Strong comment. |
