MILE: Champions Meeting guide

Based on Japan, not on Global

Japan already ran this CM as MILE 2025 (Hanshin 1600, debuffs off) (2025-12-21 → 2025-12-27), trained in hot-spring scenario. This guide summarizes what was used there and what published guides recommend.

Global can differ: cards, skills, scenarios and balance patches arrive in another order, and the meta moves with them. Check every pick against what Global has before you train for it.

Any win figure on this page, in the tables or in the notes, comes from room matches set up in Japan or from single accounts: small samples, not Global results and not a win rate in the real event.

About the CM in Japan

JP Champions Meeting of 2025-12-21 to 2025-12-27: Hanshin turf 1600 m, right-handed outer, winter, sunny, Firm, day. Second meeting with generic debuffs off. The first was the July 2025 Hanshin 2200. Uniques and evolved skills still apply. Open-league cap rose from the lower band to the next one. Track correction is power. About 60 m after the late start the horse is on the straight, so a pure straight acceleration often misses. Trained in the hot-spring scenario. The Global English title is not in this catalog.

Summary

Forecast center: Late Surger, Gran Alegria, blue Daiichi Ruby and Still in Love. Runaway tractors and lid Front Runners remain, because those are not the banned debuffs.
Guide targets: Front 1950/1000/1700/1400/1200, Pace 1950/900, Late and End 1950/850, with the same power, guts and wit.
One player finished 55-25. His final of 9 horses was Pace 3, Late 6, winner Dantsu Flame. The split he called about 6/3/1 is an impression, not a count.

Guides: Three Late, two Late and End, or two Late and a lid buffer; banned skills aside.

Running styles

Styles the guides favor: Late Surger

Use is the share of rival Umas that ran each style in Japan: how popular it was, not how often it won.

Style	Verdict	Use in Japan	Note
Front Runner	Viable	not counted	From guides A lid Front remains useful. A normal Front is a headwind because the speed-eater debuff is dead. Sample: no league-wide count
Runaway	Strong	not counted	From guides The tractor that replaces a banned debuffer. Sample: no league-wide count
Pace Chaser	Viable	not counted	From guides Bubblegum Fellow and Valentine Yamanin Zephyr are the Pace names, a step under the Late trio. Sample: no league-wide count
Late Surger	Best	not counted	From guides Gran Alegria, blue Daiichi Ruby, Still in Love. Sample: no league-wide count
End Closer	Strong	not counted	From guides Gran Alegria can also be run as End Closer. Durandal is the inherit source for the pass acceleration. Sample: no league-wide count

What Japan used and what the guides recommend, one card per outfit. A recommendation is a guide author's priority, not a chance of winning.

Debuffers

Weak Generic debuffs do not fire, including anything that can randomly proc a debuff. A lid Front or a Runaway tractor is the substitute. Buffs still fire.

What may differ in Global

The new inherited acceleration has no Global English title in the catalog, so it is described and not named.
No population share. The 55-25 line is one player.
A Korean page dates this course to April 2027 as a forecast.

Gaps in the data

How often the Late trio won the live cup: not found.
