Course Characteristics:

The track is a fibresand oval of 1¼ miles with a chute on the home straight for 5 furlong races. It is a left handed (anti-clockwise) course.

There is a shorter 1 mile 1 furlong grass track inside the all weather which is used for jump racing and the very occasional flat grass meeting.

On the grass track speedy adaptable sorts do well. Although there are long straights long striding horses seem to ne inconvenienced by the close proximity of two of the fences in the back straight.

On the AW track watch out for course specialists.

Draw Advantage: Generally none, except that over 6-7f horses drawn high do not do that well.
