A soft track rewards the horses that keep finding ground when the surface stops giving it back. These five held their speed on the wet rather than in spite of it — Manoora (17.61 m/s at Dubbo) the pick of them. Read the peak ground speeds against the going, not against a dry-track day: on a surface that flattened most of the card, this is who stood up.
