It’s gonna be like 600-700ish I’ll calculate it once the game data is updated.
This track has a stat threshold on Power. Even if you’re doing Wit builds, try to get your Power above 900 for the speed boost.
Recommended Team: S.Maru/Suzuka, Taiki Shuttle, Vodka/Grass Wonder S.Maru is consistent if Suzuka doesn’t exist, Suzuka blocks S.Maru, Taiki is consistent, and then a gambler for some random wins as the last slot.
Front Runner: Summer Maruzensky, Silence Suzuka Inherit: Seiun Sky, Mejiro McQueen, Summer Maruzensky Runaway will be available for this CM. Runaway umas are very good at blocking Front Runners from winning. However, they tend to not have great winrates themselves, and if there are two Runaways in a room, they are probably going to both die when they trigger compete. If there’s no Suzuka, then Summer Maru is best, and if there’s no Suzuka or S.Maru, Seiun Sky is best. From early testing it seems Runaways are dying even without another Runaway to compete with.
With the skill buffs, Prudent Positioning / Ignited Spirit WIT + Dodging Danger is now a thing, but getting them raises the bar very high. Groundwork, greens, two lane skills… If you’re a lazy trainer like me, maybe avoid those until Valentine’s Bourbon. Do parents even exist for this yet…?
Pace Chaser: Taiki Shuttle > Curren Chan, Meisho Doto, maybe Rice Shower Inherit: Mejiro McQueen Taiki’s new unique triggers in the latter half of the final corner, separating her from Maruzensky. This lasts long enough to give you acceleration, but only on Taiki herself. The inherited version is too short to reach. So, other Pace Chasers are lacking a bit here, but Taiki is very strong.
If the track does have the downhill, Rice Shower is also good, she can gamble with her downhill acceleration skill.
Late Surger: Grass Wonder, Gold City, Vodka, Fantasy Pasa > Mejiro Ryan, Wedding Mayano Inherit: Mejiro Ryan, Wedding Mayano, Fantasy Pasa, Taiki Shuttle Gambling time. Note that No Stopping Me! has been buffed now and can be a viable gambling skill. If you have a favourite uma, putting that skill on her (with the Yukino Bijin card) is a way to get some wins on her.
Here’s a video going over gambling umas: Gambling Umas, the Late Surger Meta - Umamusume Pretty Derby
End Closer: Narita Taishin > Wedding Mayano, Gold Ship Inherit: Mejiro Ryan, Taiki Shuttle, Wedding Mayano, Fantasy Pasa End Closers can use Straightaway Spurt to get some acceleration here. It’s late, but still has decent effect. Get Furious Feat from the Oguri card for some more gambling.
