Early Express will have a pretty handy travelling companion next Tuesday in the form of Perth Cup winner Black Tom. Once in Melbourne he will be floated back to Murray Bridge where he will join the John O'Connor stable while being set for the $400,000 Adelaide Cup at Morphettville. His two lead up runs will be in the Port Adelaide Cup and the Carlton Draught Classic.
Before leaving Perth he will contest the Good Health Welter (1800m) this Saturday carrying top weight of 62.5kg. One of his opponents will be the luckless My Thornbird who won 3 on the trot prior to an abandoned (due to injury) Perth Cup campaign. My Thornbird has 61kg.
