I read somewhere he's only 7-2 to win by more than 2 lengths. Still, he has pulled hard in his last couple of races, and they've made mention of trying to "settle him down" in his recent training. You can get away with that sort of behavior in those 5- and 6-horse fields he's been burying but he'll face a full field tomorrow and I'm not so sure he'll be enjoying that "geared down" finish he's used to.
He should win, but his jock might have to work on him a bit late.
