I think this is an overused excuse for horses who lose at low odds, SNS is one of them. If a horse is good enough he can win breaking from the outside. It will not hurt Jazil's chances one bit but he may need an excuse if he burns more money.

While constant excuses become tiresome, the outside in 1 1/8 mile races is a potential liability, though for a closer like Jazil who will likely drop back quickly it is less of a disadvantage. Plus, post seven is a lot different that post 11 or 12.
