Comments from John Burke (Launceston Track Manager)
Post meeting review from Friday night.
“We ended up with about 4mm of rain during the meeting.
“The runners got into it a little bit but overall it pulled up pretty well.”
On track expectations for Wednesday night.
“We move the rail out to the 6m, there should be some good fresh ground out there.
“I think we will start on a soft 5, if it’s a good warm day with a bit of wind about we might get an upgrade to a good 4.”
