The chalks in this field don’t tower over the rest which, to me, suggests room for something weird to hit the tri or super.

been looking at the pp more closely.
that obeso horse seems like he needs to be kicked to get him to go. his LD was a nice race and was gaining on hrc. horse didn't come off the rail though, but it was an encouraging race and considering that the derby is longer he's one of a few closers that could be coming with the right trip/fast pace, but betting these types usually means doom .
as for sainthood, what he doesn't have in class just yet he makes up with pletch, tactical speed and a pretty troubled trip in the JR...he finished very nicely after checking and being blocked a couple of times. but i don't know if he's fast enough though, and i have a hard time taking the JR as a serious prep race with that much merit leading to the derby...but the same can be said for helium in some aspects
as for dynamic...i liked this horse in the wood as a longshot. and his races at GP look pretty fast. he ran well at longer odds than he should have been in the WM, but getting run down by bubonic doesn't make me feel good........and considering how awful even the good wood horses have been in the derby, i don't see how this below average wood bunch menaces
