Grass Coverage: Good and even cover with the rail back to the true position. Fresh ground and hardly marked out wider.
Water: Nil rainfall in last seven days up to 9am this morning. Irrigation –Nil in last 24 hours, 20mm in last seven days.
Rail position and why: Rail true. Moved back to the true position after last week to have protected ground for TAB Finals Day
Last time we raced here: This track was used last week.
How it played last time: The rail was out 12m from 1000m-WP and 9m for the remainder, however played fairly. Winners mostly finished just off fence to middle and raced up near the lead, off pace to midfield.
Verdict: Back to the true position and a fresh pad will see the track present well, although will be rain affected. Expecting this track to favour horses on the pace and in the first half of the field, with plenty of straight to make ground out wide. As is normally the case, expect to see backmarkers come into play later in the day, with bigger fields and the speed on.
