MADROOS may just come out on top in an interesting affair having run a solid race last time out. The danger in a race where nothing can be ruled out might be Fayez , who makes his A/W debut and could prove better than his achievements so far on turf. Course specialists Mr Red Clubs and Idol Deputy are respected but need to be firing on all cyinders, while Devils Bridge is another who enters calculations despite appearing to be handicapped to the hilt.
