Best characters to use for the Tenno Sho race

Success in the Tenno Sho race in Umamusume: Pretty Derby mostly depends on using characters who handle Long races well. A few solid options include:

• Mayano Top Gun: She fits right into races like Tenno Sho thanks to her Stamina-focused stats and Late Surger style. You may need to take a more hands-on approach with her during training, but with a bit of care, she turns into a dependable pick for Long races.
• Rice Shower: While she already performs well as a Pace Chaser, she starts off weak in Speed and Power. Those are the two areas you’ll want to build up early if you plan on using her for the Tenno Sho. Once prepped right, she holds her own in Long races like this one.
• Gold Ship: Built for endurance, Ship gets natural boosts in both Stamina (+20%) and Power (+10%), and her skill Anchors Aweigh! gives her a speed boost during the middle of the race. All of this makes her perfect for maintaining momentum across all 3200 meters.
• Super Creek: She is a good balance pick who works in both Medium and Long races. She’s more of a support-heavy runner and needs proper training, but if handled right, she can perform reliably here.
• Nice Nature: While this runner needs a specific setup to shine, her unique skill triggers late in the race if she enters the final corner in third or worse. She’s not the easiest pick, but with the right build, she finishes strong when it counts.
