My two cents...Galen will treat this like an early heat in a championship meet.
Why try to win on a hilly course when you are still returning from injury and can tactically take 3rd with lower risk?
He has always done the tactical/"smart" thing while avoiding as much risk as possible. Not sure why this would be different.

i see him wearing a mask cause this coronavirus isnt rupp certified. i see a stick with the pack and sit and kick in the last 800-1000 style with a slow 2:11-12 kinda time. the fan boys will rejoice and fap their hearts out and proclaim him to get a silver at the olympics.....yeah not going to happen, i see 7-8th place at the olympics and the excuse of a phantom injury he had for the last year or fall back on the bs achilles injury that came up super conveniently when the heat was starting to get on ol al sal

Interestingly, tree pollen starting to hit Atlanta pretty hard due to an early spring. We may see a masked Galen at the trials.
One potential scenario is that Korir goes out fast with Kenebei as his pacer. If Rupp hangs with them and they are top three by a lot after Kenebei drops out at 25k, Rupp may let Korir take the win and cruise it in.
But if Rupp is in shape and feels good, he will go to the well to get the win. Rupp will be on the down slope of his running career the next time the trials come around. He will want the win this year.
