Winning Post-800m: Soft 6 range, quite even across. Slightly more fill in the inside two lanes, but wear is even right across which will nullify any advantage. Very even right around the side and back with barely any change.
1200m chute: Soft 6 and minimal wear. No lanes of advantage in that area but where the chute meets the course proper there’s a very worn patch that will be noticeable.
800m-Winning Post: Lanes 1 and 2 are cleaner until 600m mark and there is an advantage in that section. From the 600m to the 400m the inside two lanes are lumpy, but lanes 5 and beyond are also worn from last meeting when the rail was +9m. In the home straight I thought the inside lane held more moisture and might race slower. I thought lanes 3-4 walked the best and would be the best ground.
Verdict: Around the circle the on-pacers get the benefit of the inside section from the 800-600 but from the 600-400 that same inside area walks softer. Should probably even out a touch but I’d imagine lanes 3 and 4 would be the best ground with the fence being slower in the straight.
