Forecasts

Twosidestoastory (7/4), Quiz Master (4/1), Lazy Guy (9/2), Word For Word (5/1), Shifting Path (11/2), Dark Tide (7/1), Purple Powahouse (8/1), Global Secret (14/1), Impartial (14/1), Stevie Gee (28/1)

QUIZ MASTER looks the answer. Lazy Guy seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while Purple Powahouse also looks good for a place.
