Despite the large distance, it’s only 150m to the first turn and gives inside runners the best chance of settling where they need to be.2400m – Runners now begin their journey on the home straight just before the winning post. Again only 150m to the first turn, but it’s a very open turn and doesn’t give inside runners much of an advantage.3200 – Located before the home turn, this huge distance sees runners negotiate 5 turns, but there is no advantage for inside runnersMorphettville - Feature RacesMarchLord Reims Stakes G3 Open Open sw+p 2600mAdelaide Cup G2 Open hcp 3200mYallambee Classic G2 3YO Open sw 1200mSAJC Breeders' Stakes G3 2YO Open sw 1200mAprilR.N Irwin Stakes G3 WFA 1100mAuraria Stakes G3 3YO Fillies sw + p 1800mSchweppes Australasian OaksG1 3YO Fillies sw 2000mRobert Sangster StakesG1 Open F&M wfa 1200mQueen Of The South Stakes G2 3YO+ F&M sw+p 1600mD.C.
