They do seem to make some interesting decisions at Sky.

Because South Pacific was complete dogshit last time - he looks unders to me and wouldn't be going near him unless he is double figures or shows he has brought any form to Australia.
I'd rather take 100s Muntahaa
Think you’re marking a little harsh massive leader bias last start at Caulfield (I’m shocked too!) steps up in distance and Flemington should suit

Same jockey - maybe he has the premium jigger? Has already ridden the first two winners!

Track boss answers questions on Sydney tracks - Racenet
Australian Turf Club track manager Nevesh Ramdhani believes there is a simple reason for Sydney's track problems – rain and plenty of it. The ATC, which runs Randwick, Rosehill, Canterbury and Warwick Farm, has been copping criticism for the state of Sydney's tracks throughout the autumn and...
Nice work from the ATC propoganda machine - interesting how they present the numbers compared to this from the BOM. I am guessing most of the rainfall numbers he brings up happened nowhere near the weeks they continued to serve up bog after bog.
I think at 3 of the wet track meetings early they had drought/ bushfire relief campaigns running.Track boss answers questions on Sydney tracks - Racenet

Nice work from the ATC propoganda machine - didn't we have one of the driest June's on record?

Saturdays in June were 6, 13, 20, 27 - to blame rain for the wet track ratings is an utter disgrace and basically an outright lie at worst.
If you’re going to make up an excuse, at least make it plausible
Moving to level 4 water restrictions whilst declaring your 3rd H9 meeting in a row seems fair. "It's the rain"

The more interesting part of this story was one the Hawkes' called someone out on something that is relevant.
All tracks have major issues.Valley great surface terrible layout, Flem straight and the different grass fiasco. Caulfield moveable rail and wind. then all the swamps north of the Murray. Eagle Farm rebuild, Doomben rail.
They need to work to fix it but with increased data and accuracy and public media ciriticising the same the outrage only grows despite being there for years. Dom Beirne has been criticising tracks since the 80s and got knocked back due to the monopoly of media the TAB had. 20 years ago the story went good horses beat other good horses because they were better on day. Reality was tracks were just as bad and they were drugged out their mind. Transparanecy and whining punters on social media coming at a cost.

I think Sunny Coast is the best and most consistent we have

Interesting - I remember hearing a pro punter on one of the racing podcasts saying he liked the Sunny Coast because the bias there was super predictable. Which doesn't suggest its a premium racing surface.
I honestly can't think of a fair track in the country if I am being honest. Not surprising given the average straight size is probably 350-400m.
