Looking at the odds, Romantic Warrior (2-1) and Forever Young (3-1) are the clear favorites. Romantic Warrior has the lowest odds, meaning the bookmakers see him as the strongest contender. He is trained by Danny C S Shum and will be ridden by James McDonald, a top jockey. Forever Young is not far behind, with strong odds and the experience of trainer Yoshito Yahagi. Another horse to watch is Facteur Cheval (12-1), who has decent odds and could be a solid competitor if the race conditions suit him. If I had to pick one horse, I would go with Forever Young. His odds are strong but still offer value, and he has an experienced trainer who knows how to prepare a winner. His jockey, Ryusei Sakai, has been performing well, and if the race pace works in his favor, he has a great chance to win.
