"Gallop" says yes, it will be running on the Standside track.

That cant be right bud... Was this always the original decision? Or something recent?

Yip. That’s why the Fillies Mile is the last race, so they can reposition the rails only once. It has been done before, just can’t remember the meeting.

Two of interest today ... Duke of Abercorn in the first, rested and gelded after last start, where all 6 runners in front of him came out and won their next start... and Grindlewald who last time out finished close up to an MR104 off a MR60 . The drop in grade should make him very competitive... dont know who is riding, hopefully a claiming apprentice...there are some decent ones around these days.

IF Grindelwald can repeat his previous effort, he will win this in a canter (allowance or not)
