MISS LITTLE BIT (5) missed the placings on debut then improved last start but found one better over 5½f at Thistledown, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. PICARO (8) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 5½f at Thistledown (Dirt) in a tougher race. Promising type with improvement to come so he should be in the finish again. REASON TO BELIEVE (1) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 6f at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic). Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. IMPROBABLE FIRST (7) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Mike L Rone. By Improbable from Firewater Rocket. Top-three chance.
