Does this Oval have Potential?

[3shebabes]

I am browsing for RBs or ovals as a possible center stone for an e-ring upgrade in the next year. I am finding that promising ovals are tricky to find! I did find this one on Blue Nile and would love any opinions on it:

2.80 carat F VS2, GIA certed (cert on Blue Nile, don't know how to do a link!)
11.03x8.01x4.83
sym VG
pol G
culet none
FL: med. blue
girdle" slightly thick -thick, faceted
depth 60.8
table 57
1.38 length/width ratio
Cut grade listed: Very Good

$34,266

I can barely see anything in terms of inclusions on the diamond diagram on the GIA cert...

Any major red flags? My main concerns are: the "good" polish rating (though I am unsure of how serious an issue this is), the medium blue Flouro (unsure as to what MB fluoro might look in an F color stone), and the girdle: SL Thick to Thick (is that troublesome in any way?)

One other thing I'll mention is that I have noticed on Pricescope that this stone is only listed under Blue Nile, while many other stones pop up under several vendor names. Does this indicate anything negative -- such as that the stone is likely to have problems and was therefore not chosen for listing by many vendors?

To you "pros" out there -- are there any specific things to look for when shopping for ovals?

Any advice/input would be appreciated...

For Fancy shaped Diamonds..., images is a must!
