Grass Coverage:
Healthy mix of kikuyu starting to shoot and winter rye grass
Water:
10 mls of irrigation in the past week, 2mls rain on Wednesday night
Rail position and why:
Out 9m from 1000m to Winning post and 6 metres for remainder, being the first of three consecutive meetings on the Parks track to protect the inside.
Last time we raced here:
Saturday 23rd September
How it played last time:
Winners looked to come toward the middle of the track last time.
Verdict:
Should suit a mix of runners being on pace, with an opportunity for swoopers to make ground later in the day towards the middle of the track. Walked in the Good 4 range on Thursday and a little firmer out towards the 8-9 metre wide line in the straight.
