Kembla Grange has had several meetings either abandoned or moved to Goulburn in recent months.

The next meeting at the track is scheduled for July 30.

Theresa Bateup's Monegal will have Brock Ryan aboard in the Winter Challenge (1500m) on Saturday, before chasing a spot in the new Big Dance by qualifying at the Coffs Harbour Cup.
