Cervinia, aiming for her second crown in the Triple Tiara after her victory in the Japanese Oaks, showcased her impressive stride during a three-horse gallop at Miho Training Center's woodchip track on October 9th.

Despite the upcoming long-distance transport, the team took an aggressive approach in her final workout. Positioned between stable mates, Seven Meister on the inside and Tiffany Donna on the outside, Cervinia shifted gears with one furlong remaining. Trainer Tetsuya Kimura, who praised her "high-quality and graceful movement," watched as she effortlessly caught up, finishing the six furlongs in 83.6 seconds, with a final furlong in a sharp 11.7 seconds.

Kimura's focus during this session was on her ability to maintain composure and drive toward the finish line. After seeing her effort, he expressed satisfaction, noting that she was "progressing smoothly with a race-like intensity."

Following her victory in the Japanese Oaks, Cervinia was sent to the pasture farm to recharge and returned to Miho Training Center in mid-September. Unlike her prep for the Oka Sho, where she was transferred to Ritto Training Center early, this time Kimura opted to keep her in Miho and transport her directly to Kyoto for the race. Reflecting on the past, Kimura admitted that the Ritto stay before the Oka Sho caused some adjustment issues, stating, "She struggled with the change of environment, and it was challenging to structure her training properly." Learning from that experience, he decided to keep her in familiar surroundings this time.

The upcoming race at Kyoto Racecourse is over 2000 meters on turf, a distance Cervinia has never encountered. Kimura commented, "We don't have any data on her over this trip, so I'm hoping she can handle it." With the Shuka Sho on the line and a second crown in sight, Cervinia is ready for a fierce battle against the Oka Sho winner. The pride of a Japanese Oaks champion is at stake, and she's determined not to yield.
