It was announced on the 16th that Cervinia, who recently captured the G1 Shuka Sho and secured the last leg of the Fillies' Triple Tiara, will be competing in the G1 Japan Cup on November 24th. The Sunday Thoroughbred Club, to whom Cervinia belongs, announced the news on their website.

After Cervinia's victory in the Shuka Sho, club representative Shunsuke Yoshida said they would aim for the Japan Cup "if the horse is in good condition." It has now been officially confirmed that she will face older horses for the first time in this prestigious race.
