This is exactly how I feel. He remains the most likely winner, but I think he will always be a better horse at 8.5f - 9f than he will ever be at 10f.
He doesn't have anything close to a 10f pedigree, and - as you mentioned earlier - his two past performances at 10f have been MUCH worse than his shorter races.
I think he is vulnerable, but I am not sure any of these are going to be able to take advantage of that. Sun King is (as always) an unlikely winner, but if he is in the 12/1 range, you could certainly do a lot worse.
