World traveller Red Cadeaux will embark on a new stage of his amazing career when he heads to Sydney.

The three-time Melbourne Cup runner-up finished a pleasing fifth in Saturday's Australian Cup won by Spillway.

Flemington is the only track Red Cadeaux has raced on so far in his five visits to Australia.

Robin Trevor-Jones, travelling foreman for Red Cadeaux's trainer Ed Dunlop, said the gelding had come out of the race in good order.

"He looks to have pulled up well," Trevor-Jones said.

"He's wandering around at Werribee eating grass and seems very happy."

Red Cadeaux is entered for the BMW at Rosehill on March 28 as well as the Sydney Cup (3200m) at Randwick two weeks later.

Trevor-Jones said the gelding would head to Sydney on Wednesday, a day later than originally intended.

With a race meeting at Werribee on Monday, Dunlop wants Red Cadeaux to have a trot on the track before the float trip to Sydney where he will join the other international visitors stabled at Canterbury Racecourse.

Trevor-Jones said if the decision was left to him Red Cadeaux would go straight into the Sydney Cup, bypassing the BMW.
