This is a flat 1m2f oval track with easy fences.
The run in is 300yds in hurdle races and 450yds on the chase course.
The bends are very tight and badly inconvenience the galloping type of horse.
Suits the front runner but beware of any horse that has shown a tendency to hang left as after the first circuit there is an acute right turn.
Horses with good speed figures in handicap chases and handicap hurdles win here at decent prices.
In the same type of races avoid horses that appear well in on form.
Oppose favourites in handicap hurdles if they are top rated on form.

Suits the well balanced front runner.
