Forecasts

Bright Start (11/8), Zero To A Hundred (5/2), Pharoah King (4/1), Just You Wait (13/2), Royal Castle (7/1), Tepui (15/2), Express Route (10/1), First Emblem (14/1), Resig (16/1), Poet's Mind (16/1), Emblem Warrior (33/1), Undark (33/1), Obeyaan (50/1), Achiever (50/1), First Kid (50/1), Desert Secret (80/1), Wonderful Sky (80/1)

This should lie between BRIGHT START and Zero To A Hundred, with narrow preference for the former. The selection has a striking pedigree for this surface and can come out on top of his promising main rival. Just You Wait edges it for third place.
