Every December the club hosts a late afternoon meeting which acts like a town Christmas party, attracting die-hard punters as well as those keen to be a part of the festive season fun.
Five races are on the program tomorrow, with the first being a Benchmark 54 Handicap over the gruelling 2400m journey.
Gulgong trainer Brett Thompson and his father James will provide three of the four runners in the event, with the best chance appearing to be Declasse.
Trained by Brett Thompson, the five-year-old has won only three races from 38 starts but earlier this year she was successful in a stronger affair over 2600m at Gosford.
At her most recent start the Untouchable x Refuge (IRE) mare was a fast-finishing third behind Power Aweigh over 2100m at Orange.
That was her third run back from a spell and should have the mare primed for a big effort tomorrow.
Dubbo jockey Ken Dunbar will take the ride.
Meanwhile Garry Lunn's handy filly Holly Blue looks capable of adding to her recent consistent form when she lines up in the Class 1 Handicap (1000m).
The three-year-old strung together four minor placings before cracking through for a well-deserved win at Dubbo on Melbourne Cup day.
Kacie Chater, who has been in the saddle at each of Holly Blue's last five runs, will again take the ride tomorrow.
Racing at Warren starts at 4.45pm with the last event scheduled for 7.10pm.
