Forecasts

Quiz Master (10/3), Big Slick (7/2), Phaka Imali (13/2), Lazy Guy (15/2), Purple Powahouse (8/1), High Velocity (17/2), Magwinya (9/1), Trafalgar Square (12/1), Knight Warrior (14/1), Victor Rail (14/1), Majorca Palace (16/1), Cannatonic (20/1), Granddaddy Purple (33/1)

GRANDDADDY PURPLE is running well enough to merit close consideration but others can't be discounted in an open contest. High Velocity is fancied to follow the selection home, while Big Slick is also in the running for some place money at least.
