Best characters to use for the Osaka Hai race

You want characters who are reliable on Medium tracks with good, Turf-friendly stats. A few stand out for this event:

• Biwa Hayahide: She is good for Turf runs and performs well as a Late Surger or Pace Chaser. Once her support friendships are leveled, her stat gains during training improve and help her stay competitive in races like this.
• Mihono Bourbon: She works best as a Front Runner. She gets a speed and stamina boost at the final stretch, which pairs nicely with Osaka Hai’s layout. Be sure to train the Power and Stamina stats together, since Medium races still demand endurance.
• Daiwa Scarlet: She is naturally strong at Medium and Mile distances. Build her with Pace Chaser in mind for Osaka Hai, and keep her Speed and Power stats high throughout training.
• Special Week: Known for her strong stamina scaling and mid-race speed boosts, Special Week can easily hold position in Medium races and push ahead in the final segment.
• Gold Ship: She is somewhat more unpredictable but delivers powerful mid-to-late race surges. Her overtaking ability gives her an edge in crowded situations.
• Mejiro McQueen: While primarily known for her Long race capabilities, McQueen's balanced Speed, Stamina, and Guts stats make her versatile enough for Osaka Hai if properly trained.
• Silence Suzuka: Suzuka is best suited for Mile races, but with the right build, she can also perform well on Medium tracks. Just keep her Stamina stat balanced to support her Front Runner style.

Osaka Hai isn’t overly long, but it’s not short either — Stamina matters just as much as Speed here. Front Runners can rely on early pacing, but those with the Late Surger and Pace Chaser styles will need a healthy Power stat to move through the field. If you’re running position-based skills, Wit helps trigger those at the right time.
