Karl Burke keen on Temple Stakes return for Quiet Reflection

Karl Burke would prefer to start Quiet Reflection off in the Temple Stakes at Haydock in May if the ground is suitable.One of the success stories of last year, the three-year-old won twice at the highest level, including when she defeated her elders in the Sprint Cup at Haydock. "She looks great," said North Yorkshire-based Burke. "She's definitely matured and she's 10 kilos heavier than this time last year, but obviously that will come down as we start to get her a bit fitter. "She won't run until the Duke of York at the earliest or there's the Temple Stakes a week later or a race in Ireland."She'll have entries for all of them and we'll see nearer the time where we go."As we stand, if the ground is on the slow side of good I'd favour Haydock as she loves Haydock."She's unbeaten there and she's not short of speed so five furlongs wouldn't worry me."If she did perform really well there it might bring races like the Nunthorpe into the equation."She's been in since the middle of January and has been cantering for the last month but we're in no rush, she'll step up from the end of next month."It will be great to get her back on the track but you can't get too far ahead of yourself in this game."
