	On April 9th, Pandora would run in the Oka Sho, the first crown of the Fillies Classic series. Despite her drop in form, she would be rated as the 2nd favorite in the race. Starting from the outer barrier, Pandora and her jockey Koichi Tsunoda would rush to the front of the pack on a wet track. She would quickly lose ground on the final stretch and faded to finish a disastrous 14th.<ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApeamWOoD6o</ref> Afterwards, her regular jockey Koichi Tsunoda would be taken off the mount, and would be given to jockey Yuichi Fukunaga.

	In the Japanese Oaks on May 21st, Pandora would be the fifth favorite after her Oka Sho defeat. During the race, Pandora would sit mid pack ~~for most of the race~~ before making a run on the straight.

	On November 12th, Pandora would run in the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup. She was the 7th favorite in the race, behind favorites [[Sweep Tosho]] and her rival Kawakami Princess. During the race, Pandora would once again make a good run in the final stretch, but a late surging Kawakami Princess would once again deny her, placing 2nd.

Pandora would run again a week later in the Japan Cup, finishing 5th behind Horse of the Year recipient Deep Impact.		On November 12th, Pandora would run in the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup.
