Comments The track has a slight dip between 100m and 800m, and a slight rise in the straight. As the straight is only 200m in length, winners usually are positioned close to the leaders coming and into the straight. Inside barriers are of upmost importance at all starts, with the exception of the 1300m start, where inside barriers represent a slight advantage.
