GRUMPY WALTER (4) jumped from this trap and went down narrowly when a half a length second (16.13) in a HCP at this track over 268m latest. Has the ability and looks hard to top. STEP THE BEAT (6) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at her last five runs. Last time finished 2nd on October 11 over 462m at this track behind Aurora Queen beaten a neck (28.15) in an A5. Racing well and deserves a win. COTSWOLD PRINCE (3) turned in a solid run last start over 462m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (28.40). Deserves plenty of respect. VELARDI (1) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.
