Jimbo,
I agree.
You would think that if you are preparing a horses for a 10F race you would go about a little differently than if you are preparing a horse for a 7F race. If the connections really weren't sure about which way to go, it's hard to imagine he's 100% for this race. I want to qualify that a bit though. I have such a low opinion of Zito that it's entirely possible that the horse is perfectly prepared for 10F except that Zito was trying to get him ready for 7F. :)
Seriously, the rail will help and after looking at the PPs I'm even more impressed with his Derby than my initial thinking. So I'm less sure also.
As a general rule I just love betting against long layoffs when they go into Grade 1 races. I think it's a lot tougher than getting a horse ready for a more minor spot. So I'm going to bet against him. I haven't decided which way to go yet.
