Group 2 winner CANDY OVERLOAD (5) resumed over 6f at Listed level at Turfway Park (Synthetic) last start and after showing little early speed closed hard to score by 0.8 lengths. Drops back in grade. Top chance in this field. Group 2 winner FLAG OF HONOUR (8) returns from a layoff of five-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at this track. Has a strong when resuming record, scoring on two occasions from three runs. Sure to make his presence felt. Group 3 placegetter ROCKCREST (2) is a distance specialist who turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 6f at Gulfstream Park after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to take this out. ARMSTRONG (4) was last at the races when he finished second over 6½f at this track on December 10. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
