BETTER TIMES AHEAD wasn't seen to best effect when mid-field on his Fairyhouse handicap debut last month and is worth another chance to show he's the type to do better in handicaps. Kashy has gone close at Fairyhouse on his last 2 completed starts and should give another good account. Birdsandthebees, an ownermate of the selection, and Flyin Hawaiian rate possible improvers in handicaps.
