Despite a demanding schedule after his Musashino Stakes win, his condition is “stable” — high praise from his trainer. Sharp response in his final workout and strong mental fortitude make him a major threat.
Showed powerful leg action on the woodchip course. His trainer praised his “tight and compact” body. With added dirt experience, he’s poised for a potential upset.
Excellent overall training time, but jockey noted a slight lack of response in the closing stages, hinting at possible fatigue. Her inherent talent is the key.
The 8-year-old veteran showed sharp acceleration (11.4s final furlong) and “tremendous fighting spirit.” Could finish his career on a high note.
Physique is leaner and improved from his last race. If he can run at his own rhythm, his characteristic tenacity could shine through.

For 5 straight years, horses with King Kamehameha bloodlines have placed. This lineage’s stamina is a huge advantage here. Watch Outrange and Peptide Nile.
Top-finishing 3-year-olds from local Grade 2+ races have a high success rate. Narkami, winner of the Japan Dirt Classic, fits this profile perfectly.
Top Candidate
Exceptional training, shocking 11.2s final furlong, and resolved physical weaknesses point to the arrival of a new dirt king. He has developed the core strength to dominate, with no apparent weaknesses.
Second Favorite
Remarkable recovery and proven course suitability (2nd for two consecutive years) make him a formidable contender.
Dark Horses
All show potential to contend. Outrange, with improved training and bloodline advantage, offers significant betting value.
