The step up in distance for BURROWS PARK may be exactly what the doctor ordered and he's been well backed on both starts for this yard. His trainer usually finds the key to these types and he should go close after two recent placed efforts. Royal Plaza is a model of consistency and made an uncharacteristic mistake last time out when unseating his rider; better expected here. It's still early days for Walt and it would be a surprise if the Mulholland team didn't get a win out of him sooner or later. 1. Burrows Park 2. Royal Plaza 3. Walt
