It is perfect weather in Melbourne this afternoon and the glorious state of the Caulfield track has ensured that scratchings will play very little role in the Chairman’s Stakes Card this afternoon.

The Caulfield track is currently rated as a Good 4, but the hot weather suggests that this could be upgraded later this afternoon.
