Track update

The track on Tuesday morning was a Heavy 10. With rain forecast tomorrow, the track will deteriorate during the day so, when doing the form, ensure you are looking at horses with form on heavy tracks.

Here’s what our assistant track manager, Ray Hamilton, and racing operations manager, Mark Nowell, had to say about the track this morning (Tuesday):

Craig Baker’s Best Bet

Race 2 | BARFOOT & THOMPSON 1200

#1 | Quirky Habits

He was very good on debut finishing off strongly to run second at Avondale on a Heavy 10 on 3 June. If he has progressed since, he should be hard to hold out tomorrow.
