Forecasts

Spectacular Style (4/9), Alshadhian (7/2), No Surrender (6/1), Governor Of India (16/1), Medieval Gold (18/1), Regency Boy (66/1), First Cut (100/1), Looksee (200/1), Cape Point (200/1), Nelson Bay (250/1), Balmy Breese (300/1)

SPECTACULAR STYLE has shaped well on both starts to date and probably won't need to improve to open his account at the likely expense of Alshadhian, who is open to improvement. Governor or India could feature if blinkers have a positive effect.
