It seems unlikely Jazil will bounce back well from the Kentucky Derby. Give me a reason why he hits the ticket or I will throw him out.

Why do you say that? He has worked well for this and is in a good barn. I give him a big shot here, FWIW.

More of a gut feeling than anything. Jazil has yet to run a triple digit number. He looks to me like a horse that has peaked. His run in the Wood was essentially a perfect trip in the slop from waaaay back. In the FOY he stayed pretty close to a soft pace and was not competitive. He looked empty at the end of the Derby. A few of the throwouts could cause traffic problems for him. I will give the little guy a third place finish at best.
I also think Steppenwolfer is better than Jazil and it seems doubtful both hit the ticket.
But as they say in Let It Ride, "you never know."
