Summary

  • Forecast ace: Almond Eye as Pace Chaser, after a full-spurt fix. Chrono Genesis is also Pace. Orfevre is the End Closer.
  • Stamina floor on the course page: 1700 or more and one gold recovery.
  • One player, 80 qualifier races: the only winners were Orfevre, Chrono, Almond Eye and a new Loves Only You outfit. Another Almond Eye log: 81 starts, 65 wins. No style denominator.

Guides: Two Pace + Runaway/debuffer or Almond + Orfevre + debuffer.

Running styles

Styles the guides favor: Pace ChaserEnd Closer

Use is the share of rival Umas that ran each style in Japan: how popular it was, not how often it won.

StyleVerdictUse in JapanNote
Front RunnerWeaknot countedFrom guides A mid-race lead often sticks, and the pages still do not recommend a pure escape unless the finish is very high. Sample: no league-wide count
RunawayViablenot countedFrom guides The tractor for a Pace team. Not the ace. Sample: no league-wide count
Pace ChaserBestnot countedFrom guides Almond Eye and Chrono. Three-ace Pace stacks were common in one post-event note. Sample: no league-wide count
Late SurgerViablenot countedFrom guides Stay Gold is the Late name. Not the forecast center. Sample: no league-wide count
End CloserStrongnot countedFrom guides Orfevre is the only End Closer the forecast treats as real. Sample: no league-wide count

Expected room

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.

Umas

What Japan used and what the guides recommend, one card per outfit. A recommendation is a guide author's priority, not a chance of winning.

Stats and aptitudes

Speed Stamina Power Guts Wit
Recommended20001700150012001600
Minimum20001700140010001200

Stamina with a gold recovery skill: 1700.Without one: 1900.

Aptitudes: Speed must clear 2000 or the full spurt does not fire. Wit 1600 or more is the scaling line on one page.

From guides Stamina 1700 plus one gold recovery is the printed floor. A full five-stat target was not on the overview that was opened. Speed 2000 is a scenario rule, not a measured win cutoff.

Check your own build in the HP Calculator before training: these targets come from Japanese guides.

Debuffers

Depends on the room Legal. One player dropped a third ace for a Grass Wonder debuffer because Chrono did not finish in time.

Support decks

Decks published by guides for this CM in Japan. Some cards may not be in Global yet; the planner checks which ones you can use.

Deck shapes

  • 2 Speed / 1 Stamina / 1 Power / 1 Wit / 1 Pal · Pace Chaser · JP · Dreams · umamusumelabo.com

What may differ in Global

  • First Del Mar. Do not copy a Tokyo 2400 plan: the straight is 249 m and the final-corner gold is dead.
  • No style denominator.
  • A Korean page dates this course to July 2027 as a forecast.

Gaps in the data

  • Who won the field: not found.
  • A course overview dated 2026-02-28 was read for the straight length and the dead final-corner gold. Its public path later pointed at the dirt cup, so that path is not cited here.
