He said there had been light showers throughout Sunday afternoon, with 15mm forecast for the 24-hour period up to 9am on Monday.

"So I'd expect it [the meeting] to be on probably a soft track. Very safe," he said.
He added: "We might get a few scratchings if the track gets too heavy.
"But the steward had a look at it [the track] about an hour ago, and it was still a soft five. It's got a long way to go before it gets waterlogged."
The program includes two benchmark 58s.
The Scott Singleton-trained Mr Cruise (Billy Cray) and the Greg McFarlane-trained Sharkim (Clayton Gallagher) were the joint favourites, at $3.90, for race four: a 1000m benchmark 58.
The William Freedman-trained Vandangle (Bailey Wheeler) was the favourite, at $2.30, for race five: a 1600m benchmark 58.
