OA EYE OF KING (2) is a 11-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1½f at Zia Park (Dirt). Well placed and should go well again. JESSE STRAWFLY (5) was in contention on the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1f180yards at Zia Park after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds an easier assignment and can take the next step and salute. TIPPIN BAC A CORONA (8) is yet to break through in 13 runs. Finished eighth at his last appearance over 2f at Zia Park (Dirt) on November 23 after he was well back on straightening. Worth including in this suitable contest. POPEYE RUNAWAY (3) was beaten 3 lengths into fourth in a 1f130yards contest at Zia Park five weeks ago. No surprise to see him in the frame.
