Punter's Guide to Thoroughbred Tracks

PUNTERS GUIDE TO IPSWICH

- Look for horses that can corner well

- Horses do well from any barrier

- Short straight means turn of foot is important

- 1500m starts on the corner - look for good experience at this distance at Ipswich

- Look for experienced Jockeys

- Race on the speed

- Think Moonee Valley of the north

PUNTERS GUIDE TO DOOMBEN

- When rail is out, look for leading speed and inside barriers

- Races consistently and every horse gets it's chance

- Barriers can make the difference for finding early value

- So many major moments, it's worth looking back through the history

PUNTERS GUIDE TO THE GOLD COAST

- Keep an eye out for moisture on inside of the track and where that might create speed lanes

- Every horse gets their chance

- Races fairly and gives consistent punting from week to week

- Barriers are important out of the 1800m with short run into the first turn where early speed is key

- Jeff Lloyds' favourite barrier is 4!

- Keep an eye on the track over the day and how it's playing to help find a winner

PUNTERS GUIDE TO THE SUNSHINE COAST

- Fair starts, open spaces and long straight means horses can win from anywhere

- Races very consistently / fairly every week and gives the punter confidence based on previous form

- Handles the wet very well

- One of the most raced on tracks in QLD

- Look to be out on the crown / crest of the track if a bit of rain, about 4 or 5 off the fence runs well

- Handles up to 20 runners well

- The home of where the Winx unbeaten run began

- A little bit of extra fitness and hardness helps
