The going at Meydan for the Dubai World Cup meeting has significantly eased following relentless rain in Dubai in the last 24 hours.
The ground on the turf course is now described as yielding from good, while the dirt course is now muddy from fast.
The first race is due to take place at 11.45am, with the Dubai World Cup, featuring the world's highest-rated horse Arrogate, set to be run at 4.45pm
The rain has led to a host of non-runners on the card, including six in the World Cup.
