LONG: Champions Meeting guide

Based on Japan, not on Global

Japan already ran this CM as LONG 2026 (Nakayama 3600) (2026-07-24 → 2026-07-29), trained in restaurant 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 starting 2026-07-24: Nakayama turf 3600 m, right-handed inner, summer, sunny, Firm, day. The local planner start is one day early (23 Jul). A season cell on one history table says spring; the course pages say summer. Debuffs are off. This is a stamina meeting, not the Kyoto 3200. Late phase starts at 2400 m of 3600. Straight about 310 m. A straight cell that reads 3600 to 3600 is broken. Trained in the restaurant scenario. A cited cap is 2150/1800/1700/1700/1800. The Global English title of that scenario is not in this catalog.

Summary

Guides: stamina 1700 to 1800 plus about two gold recoveries and a smaller one. They disagree above that.
Pace ace is the restaurant-outfit Narita Top Road. Late ace is the bride Manhattan Cafe, whose recovery unique does not miss.
Personal results split: one open final won by the bride Cafe, one graded final won by Narita Brian, one team Top Road 41, Cafe 22, McQueen 10. Not a census.

Guides: Top Road + Brian + Cafe as an inference; without Cafe, three Pace.

Running styles

Styles the guides favor: Pace ChaserLate 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	Weak	not counted	From guides A front gold acceleration is called a trap on the short straight. Sample: no league-wide count
Runaway	Weak	not counted	From guides Not the plan while debuffs are off and the race is a stamina check. Sample: no league-wide count
Pace Chaser	Best	not counted	From guides Narita Top Road is the Pace ace the guides backed. One team had 41 wins on that horse. Sample: no league-wide count
Late Surger	Strong	not counted	From guides Bride Manhattan Cafe. One open final was hers. 22 wins on the team that counted 41 for Top Road. Sample: no league-wide count
End Closer	Viable	not counted	From guides Orfevre can accelerate and was unpopular. Sample: no league-wide count

Umas

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.

From guides Guide band, not a measured build. Stamina 1700 to 1800 plus about two gold recoveries. The pages disagree above that. Do not copy a Kyoto 3200 plan.

Support decks

Decks published by guides for this CM in Japan. Some cards may not be in Global yet; the planner checks which ones you can use.

What may differ in Global

Planner start is 23 Jul. The Japanese start that was checked is 24 Jul.
A year table that says 3200 m for this week is stale. The distance is 3600.
McQueen's outfit in that log was not matched, so she is listed without a roster portrait.

Gaps in the data

Who won the graded lobby: low confidence. The three personal results disagree.
Closing clock: not fully verified.
