While there is plenty planned off the track on Australia Day, there will be just as much action on it with 143 nominations for the seven-race card.
The feature race will the 2017 Miltons Gear Australia Day Cup – Benchmark 65 Handicap (1800m), that has attracted 13 nominations.
It will also offer double points in the lucrative MTC Stayer’s Series.
More than 1000 racegoers are expected to attend the day, where MTC will announce this year’s Faces of the Carnival.
Thursday’s meeting is also Ladies Day Out, which will see women given free entry, a complimentary beverage upon arrival and the chance to win $200 cash.
A DJ will also provide entertainment.
The meeting will be held on the Riverside track.
