Hint: Don't look too far from your post.
He's improving at the right time.

I liked the move he made during the San Felipe when he was like 18 lengths back... to me it says he has right style to be a Derby winner.

I liked him when he won the race at at HP back in November.

Prior to that, at Del Mar, Iggy had the mount and he was 2nd which shows that he doesn't need a good jockey (I do like Talamo a LOT).

I like Talamo a LOT (I just said that but it's officially a reason).

He looked good beating Omega Star and Surfcup back in January.

I like that his trainer is not a Pletcher or Baffert type.

He'll be at good odds.

He is the biggest horse his owners have ever had... hard not to root for that kinda thing.
