(# 3) CUBAN LARRY - Drops in class for trainer Jayne Vaders and also cuts back in distance to 5.5 furlongs. Last time at this distance running for $15,000 he posted a fine speed figure for this group. The last out at seven furlongs should set him up well for the cutback.

(# 1) Sir Speedator - Has the rail and also has some speed in this very poor field. His biggest problem is the horse to his right Allen's Halo a real speed demon. Needs to relax and go after him into the turn.

(# 2) Allen's Halo - Speed merchant drops down to a new low and does so in second off the layoff - a potent angle. Dangerous front end threat.
