The Dubbo club will host a five-race non-TAB meeting on Tuesday, with nominations released on Wednesday.
There was 79 in total received and that number could grow with nominations extended for one of the races.
The most popular event was a benchmark 50 handicap over 1200m and it received 28 nominations.
Among those was the Justin Stanley-trained contingent of Coroglen, Incision, Something Borrowed, Prattler, and Wollartant.
Prattler finished fourth in a benchmark 50 event at Dubbo Turf Club on Melbourne Cup Day last year and the gelding has spent much of the time since then in the paddock. Prattler returned from a 32-week spell in August but has disappointed in his five starts back.
Final fields are released on Friday.
