I don't know though ... freaking Nacho Friend - first off of a 7+ month layoff and first time beyond 6 furlongs sits just 3 lengths off that strong pace - makes first run while 4 wide the whole way around the turn ... and he still has enough left to finish 3rd beaten just 3 lengths.
The 5th place finisher in the race was beaten less than 5 lengths - and he had never won on dirt before and was beaten back to back in NY Bred N1X alw races.
I need to see one more from Awesome Act to get a better gauge.

Awesome Act needs to improve but I don't think he needs to improve that much. All your points are valid and I guess we'll find out a bit more about him and the rest of this crop in the next few weeks.
