Based on what JB said yesterday on CC figrure in the SA Derby, Hopportunity went backward a few points, maybe to his secondary top?

what do we do with that come Derby Day?

On one hand, he clearly wasn't completely cranked up so maybe we dismiss the bounce in the SA Derby?

He has the pedigree to get the distance, won't be the favorite, has a top as fast as all but 1 or 2 in the race and has a trainer that certainly isn't afraid to push him hard to be ready for the big effort at CD

On the other hand, horses that bounce in their final prep aren't typically a good play at CD, he just got whupped by a horse he will run against at CD that has more tactical speed than he does and the silly gallop out analysis that handicappers are obsessed with likely means that while he won't go off as the favorite, he might be a few points short of where he should be

he's the one I am likely going to have the hardest time making up my mind about

thoughts?
