CLASSIC

Summary
- No league table. Eight days before the start, one tier put Still in Love alone at the top, as Late Surger. Pace Chrono and Gentildonna are strong if a Runaway tows them.
- A printed target is 1850/1400/1700/1400/1200. Stamina contest does not occur. Do not drop under 1200 if a skill spends stamina.
- The 40-race, 35-win, 33 times 1-2 line was not on the page cited for it when that page was opened again. That page is an Open log from the June Tokyo meeting. The 35-win line is dropped here. One graded player on this Kyoto went 72-8, with original T.M. Opera O and Still at 36 wins each, plus a Late Surger Neo Universe debuffer. One final of that player was Pace Chaser 4 and Late Surger 5, and Still won it. An Open player went 40 of 40 and 40 of 39, then 1st in the group A final, with Still, original Satono Crown, and a new-outfit Neo Universe as a Front Runner buffer.
Guides: Still + second ace + debuffer; a Runaway helps Pace in a specific structure.
Running styles
Styles the guides favor: Late SurgerPace Chaser
Use is the share of rival Umas that ran each style in Japan: how popular it was, not how often it won.
| Style | Verdict | Use in Japan | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front Runner | Viable | not counted | From guides A second front can be a debuffer. Not the ace. Sample: no league-wide count |
| Runaway | Viable | not counted | From guides A tow for Pace, not a wire ace. Twin Turbo is the easy name because Taking the Lead is easy to obtain. Sample: no league-wide count |
| Pace Chaser | Strong | not counted | From guides Chrono Genesis and Gentildonna, if a Runaway tows them. Without the tow they get caught. Sample: no league-wide count |
| Late Surger | Best | not counted | From guides Still in Love. The unique acceleration has no rank gate, and the evolved skill is the downhill specialty. Sample: no league-wide count |
| End Closer | Strong | not counted | From guides Orfevre is strong and still needs a high finish to beat Still. Other closers are harder. Sample: no league-wide count |
Expected room
Front Runners per room: no source counted them. Runaways per room: no source counted them. From guides
No source counted Front Runners in a full room of 9. The figures in the style table are one graded window or a pre-event Room Match sample, not a server census.

Stats and aptitudes
| Target |  Speed |  Stamina |  Power |  Guts |  Wit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recommended | 1850 | 1400 | 1700 | 1400 | 1200 |
| Minimum | 1800 | 1200 | 1500 | 1100 | 1100 |
Without one: 1200.
Aptitudes: Medium distance. Power is the course bonus. Do not cap stamina for a contest that does not happen.
From guides Printed guide line 1850/1400/1700/1400/1200. Keep at least 1200 stamina if a skill spends it. Not a measured winner average.

Team compositions
Still in Love (Late Surger) + T.M. Opera O (Pace Chaser) + Neo Universe (Late Surger debuffer)
From guides One graded log of 72-8 was original T.M. Opera O, Still, and a Neo Universe debuffer. A tier still names Still plus two debuffers as the efficient shape. The 35-win Chrono line was the wrong page.
1 × Pace Chaser + 2 × Late Surger
From guides One graded log of 72-8 was original T.M. Opera O, Still, and a Neo Universe debuffer. A tier still names Still plus two debuffers as the efficient shape. The 35-win Chrono line was the wrong page.
Debuffers
Useful Legal again, so a stack of Runaways is no longer the plan. Two of one style plus a debuffer, or Still plus two debuffers, is what the pre-final notes describe.
Support decks

What may differ in Global
- A September classic page that now describes a 2026 race is not this cup.
- Still in Love is not in the planner roster.
- No population share.
Gaps in the data
- Post-event diaries agree Still was the individual ace. They do not measure how often she was fielded.
- A cited 40-race log with 35 wins was not on that page when it was opened again. The page is an Open log from the June Tokyo meeting. That 35-win line is not used here.
