Lemon Pop, who is aiming to become a two-time GI victor in the Dubai Golden Shaheen, was observed in training at Miho, exercising alone on the woodchip course. He worked over four furlongs in a total time of 87.7s, covering the final three furlongs (600m) in 40.3s and the last furlong (200m) in 12.5s.

Trainer Hiroyasu Tanaka, confident in his condition, commented, "He's shaken off any tiredness and looks well-balanced in running." Tanaka is also positive about the 1200m test facing his horse, and added, "I am trying have him prepared for 1200m, however, I think he suits the distance, so in my mind, it is not that difficult."
