Racecourse Feature

The race starts partway down the chute near the second corner, with a long 700-meter straight leading to the third corner. As a result, unless multiple front-runners are entered, the early pace tends to be moderate. The race generally flows at an even tempo until the third and fourth corners, where the field tends to tighten. The 430-meter home straight often becomes a test of acceleration and finishing speed.
