Grass Coverage: Even with some minor wear in the one and two wide line from last meeting.
Water: Irrigation – 6 mls in the last 24hrs to Thursday, 28mm last seven days. Rainfall – Nil last 24hrs and last seven days. More irrigation to be applied on Thursday night.
Rail position and why: Out 6 metres for the entire circumference, being 3m further than the last meeting on 28th October.
Last time we raced here: Saturday, 28th of October.
How it played last time: Fairly. On pace runners were running as well as off pace and backmarkers made ground late in the day.
Verdict: With the rail in the 6 metre position, winners should come from being able to dictate as well as coming out to the three wide line or wider in the straight, from off the pace.
