It has been a foggy morning in Sydney, but stewards have passed the Randwick surface fit for racing, though opinions vary among trainers as to whether it is bottomless or improving.

Though, the news is not all news is good for the Australian Turf Club. According to the Bureau of Meteorology, it is when — not if — the rain hits.

The forecast is for showers in the afternoon and evening. Officials are hoping the clouds don’t roll in before the last race at 5pm.

The sun should be out for the first of 10 races at 11.25am. The track is rated heavy 9 (heavy 10 being the extreme) after 24 hours free of precipitation. There are 26 scratchings across the 10 races.

The main racing news this morning is that the three-year-olds Sweynesse and Kermadec are in the $3 million Doncaster Mile.

As they were before being reinstated following the postponement on Saturday, Moriarty and It’s Somewhat were withdrawn this morning.

Trainer Gai Waterhouse was forced to withdraw Sweet Idea, a key acceptor in the $2.5 million T.J. Smith Stakes, with tenderness in the neck.
