TROTSKY (4) Flashed home late into 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at Los Alamitos. Should go well. THE KEY IS UNITY (2) Right in contention last time at Los Alamitos and will try to take advantage of the stall. Has a great burst of speed late. Showing improvement in recent outings. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. NOVINOPHOBIA (1) Struggled when 4th last start at the track but has drawn the rails. Won't be far away. DISTANT FLEET (6) Looked outclassed when 5th last start at the track. Capable of a strong comeback. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Include in chances.
