Win Bright had to wait for his debut in Dubai due to quarantine issues. Admery Mars had a second start in October and finished sixth. Christophe Soumillon is set to ride him again.

With the recent retirement of the world's top-rated racehorse Equinox (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}) and with Triple Tiara heroine Liberty Island (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}) spelling with destinations unknown for 2024, Sunday's G1 Arima Kinen is missing its top two votegetters.
