More than 13,000 people are expected to make the trip to the mid north farming town to let their hair down and have a great day at the races.

Odds: tab.com.au TRAINER WATCH LLOYD KENNEWELL TOP young trainer and the stable enjoyed a good winter in Queensland. Has a big opinion of his youngsters coming through. The launched top sprinter Conservatorium here a few years back and NOTE ROCKER (Race 1) was an impressive trail winner recently. KAZCAR (Race 4) finished off his race smartly last time and should thrive on the improved track conditions, while NEVER SCENE (Race 5) has been freshened for this and could improve quickly. Jockey Clare Lindop will be trying to break her duck in the Balaklava Cup today. Picture: Naomi Jellicoe Source: The Advertiser HOT JOCK CLARE LINDOP HAS started 2013/14 in red hot form and has already ridden 10 winners in the opening four weeks of the season. Yet to add her name to the Cup trophy and faces a tricky task with DANISH SPY in the day's feature from barrier 18. Rides COUNTER SIGN in the Sprint who is bursting to break though while BAKLAVA BOY is a winner on track. TRACK SPECIALIST ROAD WARRIOR (Race 8) is running out of chances but this bloke ticks all the boxes. He has one win and three seconds (including last year's Cup) from four starts on track. Sure he doesn't win out of turn but his recent trial was super before a good first-up run in the Penny Edition and his second-up record (two wins with five seconds from eight runs) suggests he won't be far away. FINE FORMLINE LAST GIFT (Race 6) come here off the back of a handy run in Victoria, third in his last race was Broken who has won two Victorian sprint features since. Drawn perfectly, nicely weighted and looks a major factor in the sprint feature. LINC LIKES BIANCRAZY (Race 3) He comes here on the back of three solid run in Victoria on the Geelong Synthetic track. Finds a firm surface here, a lot of these a part-time jumpers and this really does look his race. Could be a big day for Stephen Theodore. BIDDO'S BEST ALBANY GREY (Race 2) Massive run on debut, pushing for the lead early before easing back and still being trapped at least four-wide. Had every possible reason to drop out, but somehow rallied again to finish a closing fourth. Will be much better for that effort and just needs a smidge of luck to be right in this.
