George,
I don't usually pay too much mind to the jockey moves, but when I was reviewing the Met Mile the question that came to my mind is why is Bailey taking Aldebaran-a horse he's never ridden & that's unproven for this distance & surface-over Burning Roma, his pal Mott's entry that he rode in the G1 Carter last month?

Still though, I like Left Bank. But there is some speed in here and this distance at this meet seems to be less speed-biased than some of the longer distances, so if the odds are right, I'll put a small wager on Aldebaran as my closer (instead of Burning Roma, another one who looks like he comes on late) because I think Bailey and his agent know a thing or two about horseflesh.

Any way you slice it, this looks like a contentious race and there are several here that could take it and it wouldn't shock me-namely Crafty CT or Affirmed Success-but the bulk of my bank will be on Left Bank.
Good luck!
