GIRARDET (5) Came in 4th last time at the track. Happy to forgive that run. Has a great burst of speed late. Key player. MARRON CHANTILLY (9) Competitive effort when 2nd last run at Urawa and form has been improving over recent runs. Might have to make up considerable ground. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. SELECTIO (7) Tidy effort when 2nd last time at the track. Tsubasa Sasagawa and Taito Mori are consistently competitive when paired. Has plenty of early speed. Has to be included. STAY AMBITIOUS (8) First up from a spell. Ran on when 3rd last time at Nakayama and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Can go through the gears. Coming back in distance. Likely to fill a place.
