He comes with a health warning after 23 defeats but APACHE OUTLAW is worth another chance given how well he's been shaping of late. He also went close at this meeting last year and tackles an easier 0-70 now. San Aer was second here on Tuesday and can go well again, while British raider The Sweet Escape and Mytimetoshine are also considered.
