i didn't like the way he looked in the WVD. Obviously he is very small, but he usually looks ok in the stretch and gallop out, but he appeared to decline physically there.

He is a game little horse and he posses a long drive. He got one of the best derby trips of all time, probably the best. Not only the ground saving trip, but his positioning.
Preakness was a good race, he had a good setup with the chasers collapsing, Rachel was just better although he shortened the margin close to the wire. Belmont he was arguably best, at least there is a fair chunk of probability that he was best. WVD- i just didn't like the way he looked.

Kensai has a lot of horse, and Asmussen is "hot". One of Jackson's favorite horses. We haven't seen his depth since the time he was moved up, it's possible that with a tough race he could crumble or Prado could waste too much horse. If Quality Road sets a conservative pace, that helps Kensei. If someone else goes or if Quality Road gets brave and looms a winning threat entering the stretch - then it could help the closers
