Umamusume Sagittarius Cup CM20 Finals: Nice Nature, blocked edition (Nakayama/Turf/2500m)

Solo ace Nice Nature to help her get out of 3rd place hell. This CM is quite interesting. Fronts can get a big lead, late has access to claw forward, and end closer can run encroaching shadow. Lobbies are quite varied. There were 2 main goals for this CM: try to hit 900 guts ( stat threshold, and Kris S stam is secretly a guts card ), and try to get a bunch of corner 4 inherits to push for the lead. Ended up getting both. BUT... as the CM went on, I realized that, I don't necessarily lose because of my uma. I lose because I either run too far ahead and cannot proc claw forward ( needs to be 4th or below ), or I get blocked. My final CM win rate was 58%. And 90% of the losses were caused by the 2 reasons above. I guess this is why running solo ace on a backliner is not recommended... Luckily, to prove my point, I managed to document one of such blocked races in the form of my CM finals! At least Nature didn't get 3rd, and we take those wins, right...? Next CM: CM21 is sprint. I am going to pace slop. most likely running Curren ( who won CM9 for me ), OG El Condor Pasa, OG Oguri.
