Red Cadeaux, close-up 2nd in last year's Melbourne Cup, is having his final UK race on Thursday night before heading to Australia for another crack at the Cup. Ed Dunlop's tough 6YO was beaten a nose by Dunaden and finished 3rd behind the same horse in the Hong Kong Vase at his final start of 2011. The Sporting Life says: 'He has taken his game to another level so far this season, winning the Yorkshire Cup and placing behind top-class middle-distance performers St Nicholas Abbey and Sea Moon on his last couple of appearances. He has his sights lowered slightly in Thursday's Grp 2, for what is likely to be his final appearance before his preparations for a second Melbourne Cup tilt begin.' Red Cadeaux is 5/2 early favorite for Thursday night's race at Newmarket (race 4, 12 furlongs).
