Key Prediction Points
1. Placebo: The Reigning Champion’s Form
The clear favorite is last year’s winner, Placebo (Gelding, 5 y.o.). Although finishing 5th in his last race, the Doei Kinen, that was his first start after transferring back to the NAR circuit. Expect significant improvement. His affinity for the unique 2100m Kawasaki course is proven, and AI models agree, giving him a top-ranked 34.7% win probability. (Source: 20260102_nar_with_AI.xlsx)
“This course, with its relaxed pace, suits him perfectly.”— Trainer Gen Hayashi
2. Kenshi Rainbow: The 4-Year-Old Challenger
Kenshi Rainbow (Colt, 4 y.o.) is a formidable opponent, having won last year’s Tokyo Wan Cup (Stakes). While he finished 3rd in his last outing, the Heartbeat Train, due to an unfavorable pace, he shouldn’t be underestimated. The extended distance and his proven class make him a serious threat.
“If the race develops into a test of closing speed, he can do much better.”— Trainer Yuta Sato
3. Permanent: The High-Value Dark Horse
The AI data points to Permanent (Colt, 7 y.o.) as a fascinating longshot. While his win probability is a modest 6.7%, his AI Expected ROI is a staggering 131, the highest in the field, indicating significant value. He finished 2nd in this same race last year and is a known specialist on left-handed tracks, making him a dangerous contender to ignore. (Source: 20260102_nar_with_AI.xlsx)
“The Kawasaki 2100m is the perfect stage for this horse to show his strengths.”— Trainer Tsuyoshi Takano
Top Contender Analysis
Placebo (#7)
PedigreeIncantation x Bergamasque (by Neo Universe)AI Win Probability34.7% (Rank 1)
Last year’s champion, who also performed well with a 4th place finish in the subsequent Hochi All Star Cup. Ranks highest in both proven performance and course suitability.
Kenshi Rainbow (#5)
PedigreeRainbow Line x Glorious Iris (by Meisho Samson)AI Win Probability18.3% (Rank 2)
With a pedigree rich in stamina from sire Rainbow Line and damsire Meisho Samson, the stretch to 2100m is likely to be a significant advantage.
Aoi Eagle (#4)
PedigreeCurren Black Hill x Aoi Angel (by Heart’s Cry)AI Win Probability14.9% (Rank 3)
Finished a close 4th against a tough A2-class field in his last start. The stable reports he’s in “excellent condition after careful preparation.” The key will be adapting to the Kawasaki course for the first time.

Conclusion: Placebo Leads, but Upsets Loom
Last year’s winner, Placebo, appears to have a clear edge based on course suitability and proven ability. However, this race is far from a one-horse show. The high AI Expected ROI for Permanent and the underlying potential of Kenshi Rainbow suggest that an upset is a distinct possibility.
