I'm expecting 8/5 - 2-1 range.
Handicappers aren't as stupid as many people think. That horse was beat in the Preakness if the race went another 1/16 of a mile. The Belmont will be 5/16 of a mile more than the Preakness. If there is a horse to run with him into the stretch, the way Good Magic did, he will be beat.
Yeah he was beat,
but he won the race.Maybe Mike Smith the G.O.A.T. knows how to rate a horse.

1/4 Mile splits for Justify in Derby and Preakness.
Derby...22.44, 23.66, 25.20, 26.05, 26.85
Preakness...23.11, 24.08, 24.23, 24.68, 19.83(3/16M)
Note that each split in each race was slower than the previous. Even with the much slower fractions in the Preakness, his final 1/4 would have been over 26 with horses gaining at the end in both races. He was really tiring in the Preakness and I don’t think he has enough in the tank to hold off a talented group of fresher horses. It will take a monstrous effort for him to win.
