Rain to hit on race day?

Race day is where things get interesting🔯. There is a high chance of rain from midday, with the current forecast at more than 80%.

Conditions on Sunday are expected to be much cooler (around the low-to-mid twenties) and more gusty. Any delays could cause complications with fading daylight൩, with sunset expected at around 7.30pm local time.
