The main event at 3.50 looks sure to be run on stamina-sapping ground for these speedsters and there are several runners that will relish conditions, but perhaps none more so than GROWL who was racing in group company last year and has run a series of brilliant races in these big handicaps without getting the ground conditions he needs.
