Hard to be confident about any of these but a chance is taken on COUNTRY WALTZ. Well beaten over 7f on her seasonal return, Linda Perratt's filly is only 3lb higher than when scoring over today's trip at Windsor in October and a much better effort is expected here. Pitkin should be winning over this distance before long but both wins so far have been over 5f at Wolverhampton, while Piccoluck seems stuck on his current mark though may improve with a 5lb claimer taking over the reins today. Roodee Queen won a Polytrack seller last time but this is tougher.
