Group 2 winner FLAG OF HONOUR (1) was quickly into stride over 6f in the G3 Jacques Cartier Stakes at this track last time and dug deep to score by 1.3 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. CAPTURE THE LION (6) built on a nice second when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at this track with success over 7f at this track five weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. CRUDEN BAY (2) resumed last start over this trip at this track and scored by 2.75 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at two of four starts. Should be involved in the finish. Group 3 winner IRONSTONE (4) is a genuine type with three minor placings from three starts this time in work. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when runner-up over 1m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways.
