LITTLEYELLOWJACKET (8) ran a much better race at his second outing last start to finish second over 6f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PREACHERMAN (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 23 lengths when seventh in a 5½f contest at Sam Houston Park three weeks ago. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. HAPPY RANCH (5) missed the placings on debut then improved last start but found a couple better over 5½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. COZMIC BROWNIE (10) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at this track (Dirt) over 6f, beaten 5 lengths. Can improve sharply.
