Rarely does a seasoned benchmark horse graduate to Group Two winner in their six-year-old season, which is why Bjorn Baker isn't making concrete plans for Burbero.

The horse surprised him once and he might just do it again with the trainer harbouring plans to run him in the Epsom Handicap.

In a career-best campaign, Burbero won four city races during a summer-autumn preparation capped by an Ajax Stakes victory that not even his trainer predicted.

"He surprised us. He did a super job and it's going to be hard to repeat that," Baker said.

"We'll see how he goes and take it one step at a time, the long-range target is probably the Epsom or a race like that."

Burbero resumes in The July Sprint (1100m) at Canterbury on Saturday when he will be reunited with regular rider Brodie Loy.

The Godolphin apprentice has barely been seen in competition since he injured his hand and shoulder in a barrier mishap at Canterbury last month and Burbero is his only ride at the meeting.

Burbero traditionally takes a run or two to come to hand and Baker expects him to find his July Sprint rivals too sharp, especially given the presence of stablemate and frontrunner Zaratone and the equally fleet-footed Kencella.

"He's in good order. They're probably going to go fast and I think given it's 1100, he will definitely take a run or two to get back to his best," Baker said.

The gelding has had one attempt at Group One racing, finishing sixth, just 2-1/2 lengths from Japanese horse Real Impact in the George Ryder Stakes after his Ajax win.

Burbero and Zaratone will be among six Canterbury runners for Baker who also has mares Miss Tenpins and Hard To Hold opposing each other in the Jimmy Wood Memorial Handicap (1100m).

The last-start winners opened joint $3.90 favourites before Hard To Hold eased slightly to $4 and Baker is having as much trouble separating them as punters.

"Hard To Hold, she's third-up over 1100 at Canterbury with (Hugh) Bowman on. She looks really good," Baker said.

"Likewise, Miss Tenpins has got a bit of class about her. She won brilliantly first-up and goes well at Canterbury so there's not much between them."
