G1 – 2400m – Turf
| 1 | Lila Emblem | Scored an impressive victory in the G3 Shinzan Kinen (1600m), he delivered a disappointing performance in the G3 Mainichi Hai (1800m). This will be his first attempt over 2000m or more. |
| 2 | Shohei | After a defeat in the G3 Kisaragi Sho (1800m), he came back refreshed to score an impressive victory in the G2 Kyoto Shimbun Hai (2200m). |
| 3 | Eri King | After winning his first three races, he had two-digit finish in the G1 Satsuki Sho (2000m) following a layoff of around five months due to injury. |
| 4 | Dragon Boost | He secured second place in both the G2 Daily Hai Nisai Stakes (1600m) and the G3 Keisei Hai (2000m), but finished far behind in the G1 Satsuki Sho (2000m). |
| 5 | Readiness | By winning the Listed Principal Stakes (2000m) over the track, he secured a spot in the Japanese Derby. Jockey Norihiro Yokoyama, who guided last year’s winner Danon Decile, will be aiming for back-to-back victories and his fourth Japanese Derby title. |
| 6 | Fandom | Scored a convincing third straight victory in the G3 Mainichi Hai (1800m) with an explosive late charge. The Japanese Derby will be his first attempt at a distance beyond 2000m. |
| 7 | Museum Mile | The winner of the G1 Satsuki Sho(2000m) is aiming to become the 25th horse in history to capture the first two legs of the Japanese Triple Crown. After finishing fourth in the G2 Yayoi Sho (Deep Impact Kinen), he went on to win the Satsuki Sho in a record time of 1:57.0. |
| 8 | M’s | The half-brother to the 2018 G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies winner Danon Fantasy. The two-time winner finished 2.5L second in the G2 Kyoto Shimbun Hai (2200m) last time. |
| 9 | Giovanni | Runner-up to Croix du Nord in the G1 Hopeful Stakes (2000m) and fourth in the G1 Satsuki Sho (2000m), just 2.3L behind the winner, he’s known for his consistency. |
| 10 | Toppi Born | After winning convincingly in a maiden race (2000m) and a one-win class race (2000m), he was unable to justify his favoritism in the G2 Kyoto Shimbun Hai (2200m) and finished fourth. |
| 11 | Nishino Agent | Caused an upset by winning the G3 Keisei Hai (2000m) as an outsider and will be aiming for another surprise on Sunday. |
| 12 | Kalamatianos | He showed little in the G1 Satsuki Sho(2000m), but his strong performances on left-handed tracks – such as a second-place finish in the G2 Kyodo News Hai (1800m) – stand out. |
| 13 | Croix Du Nord | Coming into the G1 Satsuki Sho (2000m) unbeaten in three starts, he made an early move in the middle stage to take the lead, which may have caused him to unable sustain effort in the final stretch. Though he suffered his first career loss, he remains one of the top contenders of his generation, having captured back-to-back graded titles in the G2 Tokyo Sports Hai Nisai Stakes (1800m) and the G1 Hopeful Stakes (2000m). The Japanese Derby, his second start after a layoff, will be the true test. |
| 14 | Ho O Atman | He made an unusual debut in a 1-win class race (1600m) in February and won a 1-win class race over this course and the distance on 17 May. |
| 15 | Faust Rasen | Ran 3.3L third in the G1 Hopeful Stakes (2000m). Captured the G2 Yayoi Sho (Deep Impact Kinen) (2000m) with a well-timed move on the backstretch. His tactics on Sunday will be closely watched. |
| 16 | Feiern Kranz | Has finished on the board in all six career starts. This temperamental colt secured the entry spot in the race by finishing second in the G2 Aoba Sho (2400m). |
| 17 | Masquerade Ball | Finished disappointing 11th in the G1 Hopeful Stakes (2000m) but overcame his challenges to improve mentally and secured his first graded stakes title in the G3 Kyodo News Hai (1800m). Showed remarkable run in the stretch and finished third in the G1 Satsuki Sho (2000m). 2 wins in 2 starts at Tokyo. |
| 18 | Satono Shining | He finished a close second to Croix du Nord in the G2 Tokyo Sports Hai Nisai Stakes (1800m). He placed fifth in the G1 Satsuki Sho (2000m). |
