Up-and-coming stayer Joe Blow added his name to Bart Cummings' autumn Group One contenders with victory at Randwick on Thursday, with the master looking even further ahead to the first Tuesday in November.

The four-year-old won the Waterloo Handicap (1800m) by a long neck from potential AJC Australian Derby contender Orca and Cummings said the winner would now be set on the path to the Sydney Cup (3200m) on Anzac Day.

"The further he goes the better he will be and the Sydney Cup is on his program," Cummings said.

"He has to win a good race like that to get into the Melbourne Cup.

"And it's about time Singo won the Melbourne Cup, this could be the horse."

Joe Blow is owned by John Singleton who races Tuesday Joy, the early favourite for the past two Melbourne Cups who did not line up either time.

The first year equine influenza kept her in Sydney and last year she incurred a mandatory ban for bleeding in a lead-up race.

Walter was happy with Orca's performance but rued the fact he had to line up against older horses.

"It's wrong that a three-year-old has to carry the same weight as older horses, they just can't beat them," Walter said.

"There aren't any races programmed for three-year-olds over a distance so he had to run here today."

Walter elected to bypass the Randwick Guineas (1600m) in preference for Thursday's longer event and said Orca, who ran third to Whobegotyou in the AAMI Vase in the spring, would not run in the Rosehill Guineas (2000m) on Saturday week.

"He will go to the Tulloch Stakes the week after and then we will assess the Derby," he said.

"He may not be good enough but we'll wait and see."

Earlier this week Walter lost his AJC Australian Oaks hope Rocha with a tendon injury that will keep the Wakeful Stakes winner out of action for some time.

To add to the trainer's woes, Redaluca's Gaze broke down in the opening race at Randwick and her racing career is now probably at an end.
