The top-ranked horse by index is the Aoba Sho winner, Go Into Sky.
While the Aoba Sho is a major trial race, there has been a long-standing jinx that its winner cannot win the Japan Derby. The time has come to break that jinx.
The index for that Aoba Sho was excellent, and the winning time was the fastest in Aoba Sho history.
The performance was high quality, with a tight first-half lap similar to the main event and a winning surge in the final 5 furlongs with accelerating laps.
The second-place horse, Tidal Rock, also provides enough proof of the race level, having finished 4th in the high-level Keisei Hai despite a lack of smoothness.
With a large-striding left-lead gallop, its course suitability goes without saying.
Since this year's Satsuki Sho group was a battle of endurance at high speeds, the race quality differs from the Japan Derby, where horses save energy for an explosive finish on the straight.
In that case, horses that saved energy but couldn't reach the front in the Satsuki Sho can be seen as having been out of their element.
The second-ranked index is Reichsadler.
In the Yayoi Sho on rough turf, it finished 2nd despite the ground not suiting it, leading to an upward index correction. In the aforementioned Satsuki Sho, it showed a turn of foot that could have almost won, performing just as well as Robchen or Realize Sirius.
