With a resolute determination to finally claim victory, Namura Clair powered through her final track work on the slope course at Ritto Training Center on the 25th. Preparing for her eighth G1 attempt, she clocked a sharp 4F in 53.6 seconds, with accelerating splits of 38.2 and 11.7 seconds, demonstrating her agility and power.

Trainer Kodai Hasegawa, who personally rode in the workout, said, "She showed good energy. We gave her a hard workout last week, so today was just fine-tuning. She's in excellent shape." Reflecting on her past performances, he added, "In the last two years (finishing 5th and 3rd in the Sprinters Stakes), Namura Clair wasn't able to run her race. I want her to run her race this time."

Entering the Sprinters Stakes for the third consecutive year, Namura Clair is eager to turn past frustrations into triumph. With a new partner, Takeshi Yokoyama (substituting for Suguru Hamanaka, who is suspended), she is ready to make her mark in her quest for that elusive G1 title.
