The track has not been used since April and is in good condition ahead of the meet.
Club manager Adam Atchison said the track has had a lot of work done during the break.
“We did a full track renovation in May after the Willaura Cup, so it has had all winter and the grass cover is excellent,” he said.
“It will be a massive day of racing with 444 horses nominated over the eight-race schedule.
“If it is not a record, it would be pretty close to it which is great.”
With children on school holidays, free entry will be available for everyone on the day.
Atchison said it is a fun day out for families.
Ararat Gold Cup packages will also be available to purchase with Tuesday’s event the only race meet before the November 12 meet.
First race is at 1.30pm.
