2025 Tenno Sho Betting Tips

Redentor is a worthy favourite to win the Tenno Sho, with the four-year-old having won in style last time out. The horse was sent off as the 9/10 favourite in the Diamond Stakes over two miles and one furlong. It ended up being a four-length success for the Tetsuya Kimura-trained charge, with this coming after an excellent effort at Kyoto in October.

The horse was able to finish second out of eighteen runners on that occasion, with the horse runner-up to Urban Chic in the Kikuka Sho which was the Japanese St Leger. That was over one mile and seven furlongs, with it being clear that the horse performs better over a longer distance. However, there are lots of other viable contenders.

Sunrise Earth was a smart performer at Hanshin when scoring in March recently. Sent off at odds of 47/10, the horse was able to land a victory by six lengths in the Hanshin Daishoten, with this coming after a disappointing showing at Chukyo where the runner was only able to finish last on that occasion.

Justin Palace was sixth in a field of fifteen runners last time out, with this coming at Hanshin in early April. The horse was only less than three lengths off the pace, with that coming in the Osaka Hai over one mile and two furlongs. That was a competitive encounter and there was also a solid showing at Nakayama at the end of December.
