One of the Bathurst trainers that will be in contention is Roy L McCabe, who has Arrow Haze and Gaze Beyond entered.
Five-year-old mare Arrow Haze has only made the seven starts in her career, with just a win and a third place her only placings.
Her last start was at Harden back October 26, for the town's annual picnic races, with Ricky Blewitt riding the chance within 1.85 metres of victory.
McCabe's chance would eventually would finish third, but the mare's start on Sunday will mark her second ever run at the Bathurst track and first since November, 2018, in the Kennards Hire Class 1 Handicap (1400 metres).
Arrow Haze has drawn barrier five and will be ridden by Anthony Cavallo for just the second time.
McCabe's other Bathurst hopeful is Gaze Beyond, who's drawn barrier one in the On-Trac Ag Benchmark 58 Handicap (1200 metres).
The five-year-old brown mare has picked up four wins across her 20-race career, with her last two starts providing some solid results, with a first at Mudgee on October 26 and a second at Dubbo on November 5.
Gaze Beyond's last start at Bathurst was on February 26, her first start at Tyers Park since a dramatic day of racing just before Christmas in 2018.
As the horses were preparing to line up in the starting gate, Gaze Beyond bolted out the back of the gate - with no jockey on board - jumped the fence, crossed Eleven Mile Drive and was eventually caught in a neighbouring paddock.
Like McCabe's other chance, Gaze Beyond will be ridden by Cavallo, who has a ride in all six races.
Paul Theobald and Dean Mirfin are the only other Bathurst trainers that have nominated chances at the Saturday meeting.
Theobald's Dunderry is set to bring up his 121st start, in the same race as Gaze Beyond, with Ashleigh Stanley being given the responsibility from the saddle.
Stanley will also ride Theobald's Red Marauder, while Ken Dunbar has the ride for Dobe Super, who has only mad four previous starts for the Bathurst trainer.
Racing gets underway from Tyers Park at 1.58pm, with the first, with the last starting at 5.07pm.
