I totally disagree. I think most people will put a line through his Derby (as they probably should), and he'll get bet down to 6-1 or so off of his previous two races.

I still don't think he's a legitimate 9+ furlong horse, and I'd need 10-1 or better to include him.

I don't know about value, in fact, I'd suspect the horse would be second favorite in the race even given his Derby finish.
