Redadel should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. CLEVER ILLUSION (8) is a twenty-start maiden but finds a mediocre line-up today and gets his chance. Backs up four days after a modest effort over 1435m at Grafton. Worth another chance with Penza replacing a claiming apprentice. PARALIA (3) has been safely held in his two runs this prep, both at the provincials over shorter trips. Fitter now and this is a more suitable assignment. EVERYREADY BUNNY (9) flew late to get up for third at Port Macquarie recently. Placed six times on wet tracks so he should give a good account. REDADEL (2) returned in good order on a heavy track at Port Macquarie last start. Sure to be about the mark again. HEART OF PLATINUM (6) will get back in the run but is capable of working home into a top four finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Clever Illusion each-way.
