Grass Coverage: Very good. Healthy combination of ryegrass and young kikuyu which is great for this time of year. Very little marking from the last meeting.
Water: nil irrigation last 24hrs, 22mm for the week. 8.5mm of rainfall in the last 24hrs, 19mm of rainfall for the week.
Rail position and why: Rail is in the true position. Normal position for the Murray Bridge Cup.
Last time we raced here: Wednesday the 27th of September.
How it played last time: Very fairly. Winners settled on the pace, midfield and towards the rear. Only one winner along the fence. The majority came three runners or wider down the straight.
Verdict: An even track again. Recent rainfall helps even this track up. No distinct bias on this track last meeting and I expect the same again tomorrow. It’s possible to be caught three wide on this spacious track and still win. All runners get their chance tomorrow.
