Cross Talk is a well supported favourite for the Winter Challenge

Progressive galloper Cross Talk is a well supported favourite in early betting with Ladbrokes.com.au for the Winter Challenge (1500m) this Saturday at Rosehill.

The GaiBott trained gelding is rising to Stakes grade but finds a winnable race and should roll forward. He opened $3.60 and has been well supported, into $3.30.

Jojo Was A Man, who ran second in the Winter Stakes three weeks ago, is on the second line of betting at $3.90. They dominate betting, with Gold Trip next best at $9.50.
