I saw nothing in the Preakness that makes me think that Rock Hard Ten, or for that matter, a more "aggressive" Eddington are likely to appreciate the stretch to 12 furlongs any more than anyone else. RHT in particular may have benefitted some for the the experience but I still think we're months away from seeing his best. I would imagine the strategy from the RHT team will be to shadow Smarty and in my opinion the most likely result will be that, win or lose, Smarty leaves RHT for dead off the turn. Purge is the most likely of all to be a potential upsetter and I wouldn't write off someone like Birdstone picking up pieces late.
