Geraldton is a smallish track – bit over 1600m in circumference.
The straight is a bit over 300m. Barrier draw of some importance for the 1100m, 1600m & 1800m starts. Horses for courses. Generally an on-pace track.


Bunbury also smallish track – around 1800m in circumference.
The straight is around 400m but there is a tight turn coming into the straight.
Horses from behind tend to start their final runs after rounding the home turn & balancing up for the run home. Barrier draw of some importance for the 1400m & 1600m starts.


Pinjarra is also around 1800m in circumference.
The straight is a bit over 300m. Nice long back-straight where horses can make ground before coming to the final turn.
Barrier draw of some importance for the 1000m & 1100m starts.

Kalgoorle is a bit over 1900m in circumference.
The straight is around 350m. Barrier draw of some importance for the 1000m, 1100m & 2100m starts. Horses for courses. Generally an on-pace track.


Northam is around 2000m in circumference.
The straight is around 450m. Fairly sharp turn coming into the straight. Barrier draw of some importance for the 1000m, 1250m & 2200m starts. Although a longish straight, does not seem to suit those that get too far back. Horses for courses.
