The action on the track will be hot which is headlined by the $2 million Group 2 Toyota Forklifts Hill Stakes (1900m) run at 4.10pm. It has been won by champions such as Verry Elleegant and Tie The Knot in the past and has attracted a quality field. There is also the Group 2 Canadian Club Roman Consul, two Group 3 races as well as the $1.5 million Alan Brown Stakes and $500,000 Tapp-Craig named in honour of legendary broadcasters in John Tapp and Ian Craig.
