ELLERSLIE ASSESSMENTS – 20^TH SEPTEMBER 2025

Weather: Fine. Easterlies, turning northerly at night.

Track Conditions: Soft 5 (Fri am) – Rail out 3m.

Track Pattern: Expecting an off-fence advantage as they start to round the turn into the straight - somewhere around 2 horses off the rail gets you to the better ground. It's a good set-up for horses just off-speed.
