Night Shift colours Generated livery card for Night Shift, saddlecloth 6 — purple and white with a purple cap and a magenta sulky, over a black coat swatch.

A runner on this circuit carries colours rather than a photograph. There is nothing to photograph: the livery is drawn from the same values the simulator renders, so the card above and the screen agree.

The rating is not a handicapper's mark — this circuit has no handicapper. It is the runner's mean published weighting: the average block of numbers, out of 1,000, that GP-Draw 4.2 has given it across the cards it appears on. Divide by ten for the mean true win percentage.

The record reads starts–wins–seconds–thirds and the form string runs oldest to newest, so the last figure is the most recent finishing position. Figures are as at 25 October 2026 on the circuit clock and move only when a card this runner is declared in is drawn. There is no prizemoney on this circuit: nothing is staked, so nothing is won, and the money column is printed as an em dash rather than filled with a number that does not exist.

Every card

5 published · 2 drawn · 3 to run

Every card Night Shift appears on, newest first, read off the cards themselves. Numbers is the block of 1,000 the weighting table gave this runner in that race; price is the same figure in the other notation. A card still to run has no finishing position, because nothing has been drawn yet.

Fields are fixed when a card is published, so there are no scratchings and no starting price: the price in this table is the one the card carried. How a virtual race is decided works through the arithmetic.

Prices on this page are the draw weighting in another notation. They are reference figures published with the card, not odds available anywhere, and not a betting recommendation.

The form line

the desk, on what the weightings have done

Night Shift holds 271 numbers of the 1,000 in the Kurrajong Mile, from barrier seven at $3.22: 27.1 per cent of the draw and the top of the table. The following night, in the Gidgee Pace, the same pacer holds 31 numbers at $27.29, the thinnest block in that field. Two hundred and forty numbers of difference, one day apart, with nothing changed about the animal.

It has placed in both resulted starts without winning either: second in the Standing Start Trot off 256 numbers at $3.41, beaten 1.6 lengths, and third in the Class C Mobile Pace off 99 numbers at $8.56, beaten 1.2. Its mean block of 180 numbers is the second heaviest of the eight.

Its career strike rate is the lowest in the demo field, which the form desk notes every time it is favourite, because a strike rate is a log of past draws and not an input to this one. Trained by Trudy Aspinall, driven by Sam Oyelaran. Black coat, purple jacket, magenta sulky: on the screen the sulky wheel is what finds it.

Friday mornings: the week's results, the weightings that moved, and anything the industry did worth reading about.
