Expecting Redadel to lead Captain Attitude at just a moderate tempo. Distance reduced to 1630m due to track conditions. FLEE WITH ME (8) produced a career-best performance last start when she held on well for third over 1400m at Inverell after being ridden more aggressively. Cherry ripe and nicely weighted under today's scale. SEKI (1) has returned in fine order this prep and just missed the maiden win at Beaudesert a fortnight ago. Will relish this step up in distance so he poses a serious threat. CLEVER ILLUSION (7) backs up four days after an eye-catching second over 1400m at Taree. Needs this trip and should be hard to hold out. REDADEL (2) led and battled on well when up to the mile for the first time this prep at Inverell recently. Ready to peak after three runs back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Flee With Me.
