WhileUmamusume: Pretty Derbyis all about training your characters and making them good enough for PvP races, there can be a lot of differences between these characters. These differences decide if the character will be good to build during the early game or best left for the late game.
Oguri Cap is a three-star horse girl who excels as a Pace Chaser and Late Surger. With her unique ability and distance preferences, she is one of the best characters you’re able to build during the early game, and here are the best stats and support cards for that.
Late (A)
End (D)
As you go through character stats in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, you’ll notice that a lot of them prefer the Pace Chaser and Late Surger styles, and Oguri Cap is no different. The first style lets themstay close to the Front Runners and cross them in the end, while the latter lets them stay at the back until the final phase, where they accelerate to the front.
While Oguri Cap prefers Turf races,she also has a B rating on both Long distance and Dirt track, which makes it a possibility to build her for them. Her unique ability increases her ability to break out of the pack in the final 200 meters if she’s placed in the front, which works slightly better with the Pace Chaser style.
With Late Surger, you’ll usually push ahead at the very end,giving less time for her unique skill to activate.
Oguri Cap’s career starts off with a few Mile races but quickly converts to a bunch of Medium and Long races.Since she has a Long race that she has to place first in, it’s recommended to upgrade her Long distance preference to an A rating using the Legacy cards. This will help you beat this race without putting too much extra effort.
Apart from that, you’re able to also have a bunch of Speed and Power on her Legacy cards. While this might not be possible during the early game, you can also borrowother players' Legacies by following them through the Team Trial leaderboard.

As mentioned above, Oguri Cap works best as a Pace Chaser style,preferably over Medium distance since she has a lot of Medium racesin her career. To pull this off,you’ll first need as high Speed as possiblesince you’ll have to keep up with the Front Runners throughout the race, bringing her recommended speed over 1,000.
After getting a good handle on your Speed, youcan start focusing on Oguri Cap’s Power, Stamina, and Wits. While Stamina is not high priority, you still need to get it over 300, with 400 being a sweet spot for the Long races in her career. Outside of these, you’ll also need some Stamina-based skills to keep up.
If you want to focus on golden skills on Oguri Cap, you canbump her Stamina up to 500.
Oguri Cap hasSpeed and Power as her highest base stats,with growth rates in these two as well. This makes her extremely easy to build since you get a lot more flexibility with her Support Cards.
