Third off the layoff after two races since Maker claimed him, distance and Bris speed figure progression, staying at the same track, and Dirty Paco aboard.
With him, Knicks, and and Sleepy probably the only speed, maybe he can walk around with an easy pace and get first jump.
At 20/1, I think I might bite.
Thoughts?

I know it's a lot easier to bash a 20-1 shot than to make a case for one, but I'd be surprised if he finishes better than 10th. With the short run into the turn & big field I think you're going to see a level of aggression from the other riders that you might not be expecting, and that easy pace or trip you may envision will not come close to materializing. GP was desperate to fill one more slot in the race when True Timber was a late scratch, they put the invite out there & the connections figured what the hell, I'm not under the impression this is some crafty move by Maker.
But you know, don't let one internet dissenter ruin your day if he somehow wins
