Verdict
MACS DILEMMA won here in December and went close again over track and trip last time when finishing in front of Cents In The City and Apache Charm. He’d earlier finished in front of Red Evelyn but the latter stumbled on that occasion and can finish closer with normal luck in-running. Astrophysics steps up in trip after placing over 5f here but Koola Buala tumbles further down the weights.
