I like him for an also-ran effort in the Preakness, followed by a showdown between he and Derby also-ran Awesome Act in the Woody Stephens on the Belmont undercard. That race should be exciting from start to finish with Eightyfiveandafifty and D'Funnybone locking horns for a couple of strides in the stretch before hitting a brick wall at the 1/8th pole.
A Little Warm would make it a blanket finish if he goes.
