Military Flag  defied the odds when he was trapped wide throughout from barrier eleven before digging deep to stave off a quality Class 3 lineup over 1250m here on April 14.

It was arguably the gelding's best performance, immediately atoning for his defeat in the Chairman's Trophy prior to that.

With four wins from six starts, MILITARY FLAG should prove hard to beat with inform Brazilian jockey Bernardo Pinheiro retaining the mount.
