I find LITF to be the most interesting horse around right now. All the wise guys are looking forward to betting against him when he finally faces Grade 1 older horses because he's had some easy trips in his races against overmatched 3YOs. Plus, he's had a long campaign and he came back from his last race a little worn out. I tend to agree about his vulnerabilities. However, there's one thing I don't think most people realize yet. I think this horse is quite a bit better at 6F than 7F. It isn't obvious because he's winning at 7F also. IMO though, he looks and finishes a lot better at 6F and I don't think we've seen his best at that distance yet. He may go off at a decent price in his first race against top oder sprinters because everyone is going to be gunning to beat him thinking he's overrated. If his trainer can hold him together for another race or two (which may be the bigger problem), I think he's going show everyone another gear at 6F when he finally has to.
