She was the 7th favorite in the race, behind the favorites [[IRL:Sweep Tosho\|Sweep Tosho]] and her rival Kawakami Princess. During the race, Pandora, once again, made a good run in the final stretch, but a late surging Kawakami Princess denied of her victory, placing 2nd. However, after a steward's review that declared that Kawakami Princess had blocked Yamanin Sucre in the final stretch, Pandora was declared the winner after Kawakami Princess was demoted to 12th.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MENQwMNd8QA&t</ref> This event made the 2nd time in 15 years in the JRA that a horse was promoted to win a G1, with the last horse, Prekrasnie, being promoted over [[IRL:Mejiro McQueen\|Mejiro McQueen]] in the 1991 Tenno Sho (Autumn). This win also gave Pandora's sire, Sunday Silence, a G1 winner in every crop he produced. Pandora ran again a week later in the Japan Cup, finishing 5th behind the Horse of the Year recipient Deep Impact.
