Stars on Earth, finished third in the Japan Cup behind Equinox and Liberty Island on her last start, has recovered well according to her trainer. "The increase of 12 kilograms in weight was due in part to growth. She showed her strength against the best horses in Japan." said trainer Takayanagi. After her last race, she was put out to pasture for a short period of time at the Yamamoto Training Center in Miyagi Prefecture. He is confident in her condition, saying, "I don't see any fatigue in her."

She will run the 2500m on the Nakayama racecourse turf for the first time. "I think her best condition is over 2,000 meters on a counterclockwise track, but she can show her strength on any course. In the last two races, she has been able to get out of the gate sharply, and if she can race in rhythm, she should be able to handle the course." said trainer Takayanagi.
