Queen's Walk has followed the traditional path for 3-year-old fillies, competing in the major spring Classics. Although she was beaten in both the Oka Sho and the Japanese Oaks, she finished within 0.6 seconds and 0.4 seconds of the winners, showing steady progress and closing the gap. In her autumn debut, the Rose Stakes, she initially showed some signs of overexertion, with her head held high, but eventually settled down. In the stretch, she unleashed a powerful turn of foot to win convincingly, defeating Regaleira, the winner of the Hopeful Stakes who also performed well in both the Satsuki Sho and the Japanese Derby. Queen's Walk, a full sister to Grenadier Guards, the winner of the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes, looks to secure the final jewel of the fillies' Triple Crown. She will be ridden by Yuga Kawada.

Cervinia, after an unlucky trip in the Oka Sho where she could not show her true ability due to interference in the stretch, rebounded strongly in the Japanese Oaks. There, she displayed her versatility by closing from the outside to overtake Oka Sho winner Stellenbosch. Cervinia's ability to adapt to different race scenarios is a key strength. Although she has not raced since the Oaks, her recent workouts have been outstanding, and she seems well-prepared for a shot at her second Classic title. Christophe Lemaire takes the ride.

Other notable contenders include Stellenbosch, who finished second in the Japanese Oaks despite a tough trip stuck in traffic, Celesta, who ran a solid second in her first graded stakes start and has shown consistent form, Christmas Parade, who won the Shion Stakes with a fast finishing time, Koganeno Sora, who defeated older fillies in her last race despite carrying a lightweight, Mi Anhelo, known for her sharp late kick, and Tagano Elpida, who was third in the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes at two behind Jantar Mantar. These fillies will battle it out for the final jewel of the Triple Tiara, with post time set for 15:40 (JST).
