The Hatrick Raceway track lights won't be required for today's racing action, with the meeting kicking off at 12:14pm.
The meeting also features the return of a number of short course sprinters who were unsuccessful in the rich Christchurch races during the NZ Cup series.
As usual, the TAB Quaddie gets underway on race nine (2:39pm) which sees all four Quaddie races being contested by open-class chasers.
Complicit is returning from an absolute luckless southern campaign. He is likely to enjoy his return to his favourite track and he looms as the leading contender here.
Flag Waver is a noted railer and she has drawn to deliver a competitive sprint. Off the others, Leadfoot Lenny owns a preference for the wider draws; therefore drawing the seven trap here is likely to suit him.
