The Effect of the Draw
Low numbers can be favoured on the soft so watch out for soft ground whenever there’s a big field on the straight course. On faster ground, the draw doesn’t make much difference. Low numbers are best in big fields on the round course. Concentrate on stalls 1-8 in straight-course races on soft ground (eighteen runners), cross out the top six stalls when fourteen runners over the round mile and the top eight stalls with more than eighteen runners.
