VERY SATISFACTORY (7) was sent out favourite last start but found a couple better over 1m1f on dirt at Aqueduct. First try on synthetic. Happy to stick with this four-year-old. HOPE JOE'S RIGHT (1) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth after being in contention on the corner at his latest appearance over 1m2f at this track (Synthetic). This offers him a great chance of breaking through. FLICKER (4) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 12 lengths away in ninth over 1m2f at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. RACHMAN (3) is back at the races for the first time since November 13. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at Belterra Park. Can make his presence felt.
