The Track
Maywood Park is a simple track to play. It has an extreme inside bias which makes things difficilt for horses that close from outside posts. Therefore, your selections must heavily weigh the inside post advantage if you are going to have a profitable meet.

Key Angles to consider at Maywood
1. Horses dropping in class from straight, "conditioned non-winners" to "non-winners to be claimed."

2. Give serious consideration to horses that had outside posts and now move inside.

3. Starting October 1, give strong consideration to competitive Balmoral Park invaders.
