Must be HEAVY on round course by now!

Soft ?

lot of turf getting kicked up there

1mm of rain overnight, good to soft straight course, good to soft, soft in places round course.

The current met office site is showing heavy rain for the next couple of hours. Don't believe the 'Good' part of the going description.

Clerks of the course typically bend over backwards to include it.

Kind of irritating having to miss out the first race at Ascot everyday with one part of the track always faster than the side - near side was the place to be, then middle, far side today??

If it’s that heavy how come no support for the likes of morando.according to the doom merchants yesterday trying to find a reason to justify laying Stradivarius,native river would have struggled to get the 2.5 mile.
