Rail position and why:
Out 7 metres from the 1200 metres to the Winning Post and then 4 metres for the remainder. Looking to avoid some damage from last meeting and to have fresh ground for Spring meetings.
Last time we raced here:
Saturday the 10th August, 2024
How it played last time:
The majority of winners were on pace or mid-field(8/9). Backmarkers could also make ground and overall the track played fairly .On pace runners may be advantaged tomorrow with the rail out, however big fields for most of the day will ensure that backmarkers will also come in to play, with plenty of room in the straight to make ground out wide.
Verdict:
Track is currently rated a Soft 6, following 4mm of rain this week. Expect this track to commence in the Soft range, with the possibility of an upgrade to a Soft 5, even late Friday afternoon or early on race day if the strong winds persist, assisting improvement in the rating.
Walked:
Track walked at 10:30am on Friday.
