The AI’s predicted win probability is an exceptional 61.02%. With C. Lemaire aboard, they are clearly aiming for a win. If they can get a clean trip from the outside gate, a victory seems highly likely.
Pedigree:Real Steel x Fastnet Rock (Maternal Grandsire)
Progeny of Real Steel often have the power to handle Nakayama’s challenging final incline. A good position from the inside draw could give them a strong chance. Consistently rated well by the AI.
A true test of power and stamina on the dirt course, which tends to favor horses drawn wide.
Pedigree:Nadal x Daiwa Major (Maternal Grandsire)AI Index:70 (Win Prob. 60.62%)
This “power x power” pedigree, combining the often large-framed progeny of Nadal with the strength of Daiwa Major, makes this horse a perfect fit for Nakayama’s dirt 1800m. Drawing the favorable outside post in gate 15 is another major plus. With an AI win probability over 60%, this is a very reliable contender.
Pedigree:Mischievous Alex x Black Tide (Maternal Grandsire)
A potential longshot with a 258% Expected ROI. The sire, Mischievous Alex, produces strong dirt runners, and the use of an apprentice jockey for weight relief adds to the upset potential.

Pedigree:Discreet Cat x Wild Rush (Maternal Grandsire)AI Index:70
A “dirt specialist” pedigree, as both sire and maternal grandsire excelled at dirt sprints and miles. If this horse gets a clean break from the gate, it has the speed to potentially lead from start to finish.
Pedigree:Mischievous Alex x Agnes Tachyon (Maternal Grandsire)
Expected ROI of 221%. The influence of maternal grandsire Agnes Tachyon may provide a blend of early speed and agility. A ground-saving trip from the inside post could set up a surprising finish.
