The quick return of MEAGHER'S FLAG is a statement of intent from the Jim Bolger stable here with the three-year-old winning his first handicap on Friday and the colt can be expected to build on that victory here. Ice Cold In Alex and Dance Alone can make up stiff resistance and hit the frame in this contest.
