STONE COLD FLEX (5) is a five-start maiden who has been in the money two times. Could only manage ninth at the latest appearance over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Has weighed in at all two tries over this distance. Settles back early but winds up late. Leading contender. SKULL HONOR (3) met with solid support last start over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic) when third, beaten 5.5 lengths. Nice alley and can make amends. FLAG OFFICER (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. OTTER MISCHIEF (7) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7½f at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh. Well placed to turn things around.
