Burbach finished runner-up here when dropped down to this level last month but had earlier finished behind WOODS OF CONGAREE in a more valuable maiden race. The latter tries his luck at this lower level today and may prove the one to side with. Poppy’s Oats was placed at Houston earlier in the year though a wide draw has done him no favours while In The Nic Of Time hasn’t raced since last summer though has placed here before.
