Water: Irrigation last 24 hrs – 9mm, last 7 days – 31mm. Rainfall last 24 hrs – nil, last 7 days – nil.
Rail position and why: 2mts from the 800m – 400m, true remainder. Moving rail out around the home turn to navigate around some damage from the last meeting.
Last time we raced here: 16th of December 2023
How it played last time: 2 x winners settled rear, 5 x midfield, 2 x on pace. 6 x winners middle or wider in straight , 3 x winners 2 off or closer to rail.
Verdict: Expect to start on a Good 4, possibly heading to a Good 3. Track to continue playing fairly much like the previous meeting.
