UNCHARTED (6) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at Santa Anita, beaten 3 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. BOB'S DECISION (7) returns from a lay-off of 12 weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 1m1/2f at Listed level at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Rates highly and should take beating. THUNDERMOUNTAINMAN (8) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher won by Shankapotamus over 1m1/2f at Arapahoe Park, beaten 13 lengths into sixth. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give backers a great sight. GATLINBURG (4) is resuming from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months and having his first run for the Kevin Eikleberry yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1m1/2f.
