VERY SATISFACTORY (8) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the W Potts barn. Resumes after finishing eighth at Ellis Park (Turf) at his last run 12 weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but goes well fresh from a lay-off, filling a placing two times from three runs. Key chance who will go close. BOURBON OUTLAW (4) is a eight-start maiden who was prominent throughout last time and stuck on well to finish second over 1m1/2f at Saratoga (Turf). Will drift back but wind up late. Will be tough to hold out. COMANCHE PEAK (6) is a six-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent appearance over 1m1/2f at Saratoga (Turf) after he was well back on straightening. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. ALWAYS BE SMART (15) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 7f at Gulfstream Park. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
