Racing Victoria (RV) advises that the meeting scheduled for Cranbourne this Thursday, July 18 has been transferred to the Pakenham Synthetic track.
The Cranbourne track has been deemed unsuitable for racing this week due to the impacts of ongoing rain with over 40mm falling since 9am on Monday.
As a result of the transfer, the 3YO Fillies Maiden Plate and 0-62 Handicap have been reduced to 1200m, while the BM58 Handicap has been reduced to 2200m.
In addition, field limits have been reduced to 12 for six races, with a field limit of 11 in place for the two 1600m races – a Maiden Plate and BM64 Handicap.
Acceptances for the transferred meeting have been extended until 11am on Tuesday with riders to be declared by 2pm.
Trainers who had accepted for the Cranbourne meeting, but do not wish to start their horse at the Pakenham Synthetic meeting are requested to withdraw it by 11am on Tuesday.
