It might look that way on paper, but you can't deny a few things...

Toss his race in Dubai without Lasix and an effort in the Clark where something clearly went wrong, and the horse is 7 for 7. He does have the third off angle going for him and he gutted back after Musket Man took a narrow lead in the Monmouth Cup. He's fresh and is out of a BC Distaff longshot winner. He'll get pace sit off of which hasn't been the case in his two starts this season. KML specifically passed on this race last year and pointed to the Clark when the Meadowlands Cup was just three weeks off, he has an extra week this year. If KML is at all dodgy or tight-lipped, a good sign.

All that being said, he'll be at least 30-1, but isn't without some angles.
