Trainer Yuichi Fukunaga, who has only been a trainer since March this year, will have his first G1 runner in the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies. He will be sending out Daily Hai Nisai Stakes winner, Run for Vow. In a race with which he has a good affinity, having won three times as a jockey, he will be aiming to become only the seventh trainer in history to win a JRA G1 in his first year of operations.

May Day Ready, a foreign filly competing for the first time in the race's history, had her final workout at Kyoto Racecourse. She showed good form with nimble footwork.

Run for Vow, she was due to run in the Listed Akamatsu Sho a week ago, but her race was brought forward a week. She showed great agility and power, and her trainer gave her a perfect score for her run, saying, "There was nothing to say about the content." This time the field will go from a small one of seven to a large one, but he said "She stretched from the inside and she can use that even with a full gate," he is looking forward to a good race.

The trainer met this horse in May this year. He personally selected her at the Chiba Thoroughbred Sale and the owner bought her. She was well balanced and light on her feet. He continued "I'm glad she ran 1600 meters. She ran better than I expected, and I didn't expect her to win a graded race so soon," he said.

There will be only three weeks between the last races. Nevertheless, she worked well on the Ritto woodchip course a week ago and her trainer has no concerns about her condition, saying that she is still in good shape.

If she wins, he will become only the seventh trainer to win a G1 in his first year since the introduction of the graded system in 1984, with trainer Shikato (Japan Cup = Screen Hero) in 2008. Fukunaga is not concerned, "She won't be popular, so I'm taking it easy. The famous jockey, who has achieved many milestones in his career as a jockey, will be switching from stick to tact to achieve this feat.
