Solid tempo from Refreshing driving forward, with Koratora and Bad Detective booting up. Open race to end the day. Happy to be with LONRODEX (1) on an each-way basis. He's clearly the highest-rated horse in the race and isn't in too badly after the 3kg claim for an in-form Matt Chadwick. He wasn't far away last week and his prior form on the Parks track is good enough to win this. WARPARTY (5) was placed behind a couple of smart horses last time and is open to further improvement at only his second run for the new stable. ANOTHERHOUSE (6) hasn't won this campaign but he hasn't been far away from good horses, while NURYS (2) just keeps racing well and is sure to be hitting the line again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Lonrodex each-way.
