NAGOYA GRAND PRIX 2025

RACE ANALYSIS & PREDICTIONS

December 24th, 2025

Key Takeaways

Slower Pace Expected

Okemaru’s withdrawal creates a “pace vacuum,” favoring front-running horses.

Kazutanger: Top Contender

Overall strength and a favorable Storm Cat bloodline for the Nagoya course make it a strong bet.

Bell Pit’s Home Advantage

The local champion’s 56kg weight and ideal race dynamics give it a strong chance to upset JRA rivals.

Bloodline Matters

Storm Cat and Gold Allure lineages are identified as key success factors on this course.

1. Course, Conditions & Pace Impact

New Nagoya Dirt 2000m

  • Early Pace: Inside-drawn front-runners retain an advantage despite a long straight to the first corner.
  • Corner Shape: Spiral curves enable sustained speed, making outside “makuri” moves effective.
  • Favorable Styles: Data shows a high win rate for horses leading or racing in forward positions.

Okemaru’s Withdrawal: The “Pace Vacuum”

The absence of this undefeated Triple Crown winner points to a slow-to-moderate pace, benefiting front-runners.

Potential New Front-Runners:

  • Appealing Look (Gate 1, 54kg): Most likely to set the pace from the inside.
  • Bell Pit (Gate 5, 56kg): Known for strong front-running ability.
  • Kazutanger (Gate 7, 58kg): Can smoothly take a leading position.

2. Detailed Analysis of Key Contenders

Kazutanger

JRA / Stallion/458.0kgJockey: Masahiro Kawada

A Mercury Cup winner in peak form, making it a strong favorite with no apparent weaknesses. The slower pace is advantageous, and jockey Masahiro Kawada’s skill is a major plus.

Bloodline:

Sire Deep Force (Storm Cat lineage) provides speed and power. Dam’s side includes Asakusa Kings for stamina. A perfect fit for 2000m at Nagoya.

Bell Pit

Hokkaido / Stallion/5 / 56.0kg / M. Kuwamura

Hokkaido’s top horse. Likely to secure a prime position. Its 56kg weight advantage could be the key to defeating the JRA horses.

Bloodline:

Sire Pyro is highly suited to local dirt, and dam’s sire Daiwa Major enhances its front-running ability.

Derma Sotogake

JRA / Stallion/5 / 59.0kg / T. Danno

A G1-class horse showing signs of recovery. The 59kg weight is challenging, but its inherent ability and class make it a formidable opponent.

Bloodline:

Mind Your Biscuits x Neo Universe pedigree excels in middle-distance dirt races.

Shin Medaisy

Kochi / Stallion/4 / 56.0kg / H. Yoshihara

Kochi’s star performer. Consistently performs well at Jpn3 level. With a 56kg weight and a versatile style, it’s a strong candidate for a top-three finish.

Bloodline:

Sire Copano Rickey (Gold Allure lineage) has a strong record at Nagoya. Dam adds stamina.

Appealing Look

JRA / Filly/4 / 54.0kg / K. Matsuyama

A sole female contender aiming for a wire-to-wire win. Its 54kg weight and inside gate are significant advantages. If it sets its own pace, it could be hard to catch.

Revontulet

JRA / Stallion/4 / 57.0kg / R. Sakai

A capable performer with G3 ability. Last-place finish is a concern, but has potential to rebound if it races smoothly from a forward position.

3. Bloodline Strategy

Storm Cat (ストームキャット) Bloodline

Imparts US speed and agility, excelling in cornering acceleration on Nagoya’s track.

Notable Horses: Kazutanger, Revontulet

Gold Allure (ゴールドアリュール) Lineage

Stamina-oriented Sunday Silence descendants that have shown exceptional strength in longer graded races at Nagoya.

Notable Horse: Shin Medaisy

Bloodline Conclusion

From a bloodline perspective, Kazutanger is rated highest due to ideal course suitability and strong form. Shin Medaisy is also a noteworthy contender with strong backing for long-distance races here.
