CAFE France hopes to preserve its  perfect slate against Tanduay Rhum in the PBA D-League Aspirants Cup Monday at Filoil Flying V Arena. 

“Tanduay is a very strong team,” said Cafe France coach Egay Macaraya. “Anytime, they can have a good game.”

The Bakers target a sixth straight triumph in the 4 p.m. match versus the Rhum Masters, who strung up three straight wins after a 0-2 start.

Phoenix-Far Eastern University, meanwhile, looks to rebound from its first loss versus BDO-National University at 2 p.m.

A win by the Accelerators will give them a share of second at 4-1 with idle Caida Tiles, their tormentor last week.

Tanduay coach Lawrence Chongson said the quarterfinal bonus has kept his team motivated with three twice-to-beat incentives still up for grabs.
