Water: Irrigation last 24hrs – nil. Rainfall Last 7 days – 47mm
Rail position and why: Out 9m from the 1000m to the winning post, 6mts the remainder. Moving away from the 6mts position of the last meeting to use fresh ground with minimal scuff marks from the previous meetings
Last time we raced here: Saturday the 11th of November
How it played last time: 4 winners on pace, 4 winners from midfield, the general feel was the track walked and played very fairly across the day and most races were pace or class related
Verdict: The first race is a maiden with a big field that will spread out and it will be hard to gauge a fair reading, race 2-6 maybe add race 7 we have fields of 10ish and may just play pace related with the last 3 races looking like high pressure races which may bring backmarkers into play. Overall the track walks in very good order good clean grass and should play even across the day.
