(# 3) FAST MISSLE - Very sharp at present, he comes off a sprint victory here on Nov. 9. Stretches out and moves up in class today. Has run well at this two-turn distance before, and his present form is too good to ignore.

(# 2) Devil Cop - Speedy sort should be able to get the lead if he wants it. One of his best races this season was a stretch-out second on May 30 at Yavapi Downs.

(# 4) Lion Trouble - More accomplished on grass, he also has not run since the end of March. Has several sharp works for the return.

(# 5) Larry King - Coming off another gap in his races today. This level appears fine and trainer is having a great meet.
