MY MATE MAL landed a double over C&D earlier this year making all on both occasions. He attempted to force the issue from the front when challenged for the lead here on his recent return from lay-off and duly faded in the closing stages. If allowed to dominate today, he could take some catching. Dandarrell has to defy a penalty for his recent victory here and is upped in class, but Rosewin ended the turf season in good form and should figure along with Not Til Monday.
