I realize it's fairly irrelevent, but how is Super Saver the M/L favorite over Nobles Promise? Is it just the "Pletcher" factor?

If Lookin at Lucky ran back in this race instead of the SA Derby, wouldn't he be an even money favorite here? With Noble's Promise finishing right with Lucky in the Rebel, Cashcall, and BC juvy (and moving up on dirt his first start off the long layoff, just like LAL) I can't see him not being the favorite come post time.
