So what do people expect the going to be today?
Assume they would have watered after y'day.
And ground had dried out that i expect (hope) will be still on the good of good to soft?

It was Good ground yesterday..very good

they are now giving at Soft

To make your own mind up from the officail times of the first two races..these are the past times of the Triumph & County...whatever official time they give today...add about 3 seconds to it to allow for the new timing method.

Times are official and so are the goings..bar one which was clearly wrong..its not really exact as only small sample but will do for a rough guide to try and help assess today..its not exact ok?
