GOING: S(5)

BAKER REFRIGERATION OPEN Handicap - Weights raised 2kg 2200m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 1m Entire. (Pent: 5.84).  

Solid tempo. RED WAVE (8) has gotten better with each run this campaign and is yet to miss a drum in three runs over this course and distance. In the mix. CHAYSE 'N' ARTIE (10) is a two-time winner here and cannot be ignored. WARP SPEED (9) hails from a handy family (half to G1 winner Nom De Jeu) and rarely runs a bad race. May trouble the judge. REGAL LION (2) Group 1 placegetter. Ran a better race last start to finish second over 2000m at Albury. Solid top-three chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Red Wave to win.
