Verdict

ROMANTIC WARRIOR (1) comes back to the mile for the first time since winning the Yasuda Kinen in 2024. That may be the only query with him, though he's shown enough sharpness in his prior runs over this trip. Looking for the hat-trick of wins and can put his rivals to the sword once again. VOYAGE BUBBLE (2) missed in the Jockey Club Cup but made it back-to-back wins in the G1 Mile last month. He's had a quiet trial since his latest effort and Purton sticks with him. He's the only one who looks capable of dethroning the champ. GALAXY PATCH (6) won the G2 two back before a 2.8L defeat in the G1 mile last start. He doesn't help himself out of the barriers, though Guyon rides now on the back of a nice trial. Sure to be finishing off strongly late in the race. MY WISH (8) will need to lift on what he did last month but can sneak into the finish.
