Scratches due to off-turf and main track-good.
Fields at SA have been better than average this meet so far as compared to the past couple seasons. Bottom level races are filling pretty easy. Still a shortage at the top end.
But that's the way of the industry. Points of least resistance and meeting at the lowest common denominator. Bigger the purses at the lower tiers of the condition book, the easier the decision is for connections to drop horses into easier spots and make a run for the cash.
