At the trip
Woodville has staged 7 races at 3000m in our sample — too small to base a decision on.
- Barrier draw: Inside (1–4) and Middle (5–9) win the most races here — 3 of 7 each (42.9% win share); no band meaningfully beats its market price.
- Pace: no workable sample in this category.
- Market: Mid ($5–10) wins the most races here — 3 of 7 (42.9% win share); no band meaningfully beats its market price.
- Data note: settling position is unknown for 69 runners in this sample, which dilutes the pace numbers.
Rail effect
Grouping similar rail positions covers only 7 runnings — too small to lean on.
- For the record: Mid ($5–10) accounted for 3 of the 7 winners (3 from 14 runners, A/E 1.59) in that limited data — colour, not signal; the overall numbers above carry more weight.
