For me, the answer is no.

Look, Mendelssohn might well simply be too good for the Dwyer field. He is top class. However, the Dwyer is on dirt, and Mendelssohn made his dirt bones in the UAE Derby, which he won by the lengths of the stretch, but a race in which he also rode the crest of a very strong inside speed track bias.

That alone is enough for me to put Rugbyman, who has shown potential in his three starts and is an ideal candidate to improve with blinkers on, and Louisiana Derby winner Noble Indy, on at least equal footing with Mendelssohn, pari-mutuelly speaking. At 5-1 and 4-1, respectively, they are certainly more appealing prices.
