Barrier Guide

• 1100 metres:  Is found in a chute inside the main course proper.  There
  is a straight run for approximately 300 metres before it joins the course
  proper and then runners are faced with the double turn.  Inside barriers
  are an advantage.

• 1200 metres:  As with the 1100 metre start but runners have 400 metres
  before the turn.  Despite the new track camber, inside barriers still have
  an  advantage.

• 1300 metres:  This start is located on the course proper and provides
  runners with just 250 metres of straight run before the first of two turns.
  Inside barrier draws have a big advantage.

• 1350 metres:  Same as the 1300 metre start but now provides runners
  with a 300 metre straight run before the first turn.  Inside barriers are an
  advantage.

• 1500 metres:  This barrier is starting in a chute off the course proper at
  the end of the back straight.  It provides runners with a straight run of
  about 450 metres to the first turn. Again, inside barriers have the
  advantage especially with big fields.

• 1900 metres:  Is located on the course proper giving runners 350 metres
  straight run before the fist turn.  Inside barriers are an advantage.

• 2000 metres:  Similar to the 1900 metres start but is in a chute off the
  course proper and gives runners a run of about 450 metres to the first
  corner. Inside barriers are favoured.

• 2400 metres:  This start is located on the course proper in the home
  straight. It provides runners with a straight run for almost 400 metres to
  the winning post for the first time. Inside barriers have only a slight
  advantage.
