Forecasts

Gun Runner Cash (13/8), Timetotalk (5/2), Huntsman's Call (7/2), Blazing Court (7/1), The Hogan Stand (16/1), Pipers Cross (25/1), Voice Note (200/1)

Probably not much depth to this bumper and a good chance for GUN RUNNER CASH to make it 2-2 in this sphere after his smooth victory at Perth. Blazing Court is an interesting newcomer with Brian Hughes up.
