FARROH JOE (2) has launched his career in a promising manner with three minor placings from four starts. Registered yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to finish third over 1650m at Bendigo, adding to his reputation as a genuine performer. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the talent to take this out. THEMIDNIGHTEXPRESS (7) comes here following a Group One seventh six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 19 metres by Jacwill Kid. A big performance is on the cards. LA CANTATRICE (4) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at Melton over 1720m. Hard to find fault. STAUNTON (6) is a two-year-old colt from the Emma Stewart stable on debut. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Will be right there at the business end.
