Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, episode 7, continues from the ending of episode 6 and depicts both Oguri and Berno reaching the Tokyo Tracen Academy in order to begin their new life. Shortly after reaching the academy, both of them were greeted by Roppei, revealing that Oguri and Berno would be under his tutelage until Jo acquired his national training license.

Roppei then took Oguri and Berno Light on a tour around the academy, mentioning how any training or leisurely facility they could imagine existed within the academy's boundaries. The tour soon ended with both Oguri and Berno Light meeting Symboli Rudolf, a legendary horse girl and the current acting student council president of Tracen Academy.

Soon, Oguri learned of the Japanese Derby and decided to win in respect of Jo and their former shared dream. Later, it is revealed that the Japanese Derby is part of the Classics series and was allowed to be used by horse girls who had registered with the URA beforehand. Unfortunately, Oguri had missed the deadline, and no exception to the rule could be made.

As a last resort, Oguri decided to ask Symboli Rudolf to use her connections to allow Oguri into the Classic series. Rudolf ends up admonishing Oguri and her overconfidence, mentioning how the Japanese Derby is the race where a generation's next biggest star is decided.

Oguri then decided to enter the other graded races to make a name for herself and compel the URA to reconsider their rules. The episode ends with Oguri getting ready for her race against fellow classmate Black Ale in the Grade 3 Pegasus Stakes.

What to expect from Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray episode 8?

Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray episode 8 will reveal whether or not Oguri will be able to defeat Black Ale in her first graded race ever. Given the presence of reporters on the racetrack, it is possible that Oguri actually manages to make the URA reconsider its rules.
