I think you'll get more on Noble Causeway than 10-1 and I do think he will close.
Afleet Alex is a lot of horse and that last race was to my eyes the most impressive of all the preps. He beat some fair horses in the Ark. The competition increases exponentially in the Derby, but what is not to like about Alex?, especially from a figures perspective? He has a solid foundation. Hes been fast and has not improved a great deal from his two year old top. He's king of the workouts and he has the right pace style. He's beaten many of those in the race, but for Wilko and a horror trip. I think he'll be favored. If he draws a bad hole thats probably the biggest knock against him, cuz his jockey hasn't proven to me he's adept at trips.
