Warrnambool Racing Club racecourse manager Daniel Lumsden told The Standard punters should do their form for a heavy 10-rated track.
"We've had more then seven millimetres of rain in the last week on the back of good rain during May," Lumsden said.
"They're predicting more rain. It'll be a heavy ten track. We'll have a good safe track for jumps racing and for the four flat races the running rail will be out two metres."
Respected Crossley trainer Quinton Scott saddles up Salt Of The Earth for his second jumps start in the maiden hurdle.

The Warrnambool Grand Annual Steeplechase-winning trainer said the lightly-raced five-year-old will need the run.
"Salt Of The Earth is still learning about the jumping caper," Scott said. "He's going to need a bit of time before he's ready to show his best over the jumps.
"He had a run in a maiden hurdle at Warrnambool last month and that was his first start over them. I thought he went all right but it's a tough maiden he's running in on Tuesday.
"He'll learn a lot from the experience. I've only had him in the stable for three runs. He was formerly trained by Terry O'Sullivan at Stawell. The two maiden hurdles look strong races on paper."
The first race is at 11.20am and the last at 4.30pm.
