Track Rating:
Heavy 8
Grass Coverage:
Good, with winter rye emerging from kikuyu.
Water:
Irrigation last 24 hours – nil, Irrigation last 7 days – nil
Rainfall last 24 hours – 20mm, Rainfall last 7 days – 24.5mm
Rail position and why:
Out 3 metres for the circumference to avoid the damage from 4 weeks ago when the rail was in the true position.
Last time we raced here:
Saturday the 20th of July, 2024
How it played last time:
Whilst the majority of winners led or were on pace, mid-backmarkers also won a third of the card. 6x winners led/on pace, 1 winner settled midfield and 2 winners settled towards the rear of the field.
Verdict:
Track currently rated a Heavy 8 following a storm and heavy rain on Thursday night. Expect this track to commence in the Heavy range, with the possibility of an upgrade to a Soft 7 at some stage, even early on race day if fine weather and winds persist. With the rail out three metres, look for horses coming to the middle of the track, later in the day.
Walked:
Track walked at 10:30am on Thursday.
