While he has won sitting just off the pace in the past, his true ability to rate is probably a reasonable question, but the turnback to the Malibu would be perfect. Granted he was facing a weaker bunch than Brother Derek rates to face but Rock Hard Ten was able to win the Malibu off a layoff and turnback.
