The fate of the Doomben 10,000 meeting remains in the balance following a crisis meeting of officials from Queensland Racing Limited (QRL) and the Brisbane Turf Club.

QRL's racing services manager Paul Brennan and chief steward Wade Birch met with Doomben officials on Wednesday before deciding to proceed as normal with Saturday's fixture.

Birch and course manager Warren Williams inspected the track at 3pm (AEST) on Wednesday following 240 millimetres of rain since Monday and declared it safe for racing.

However, a further track inspection early on Thursday may determine the fate of the meeting.

"We walked the track and at this stage the meeting will go ahead on Saturday as planned, depending on the weather in the next day or two," Birch said.

"The track had a lot of surface water on it this morning but it had drained off when we looked at it this afternoon."

Brennan said it was too early to call off the meeting and no contingency plans had been discussed should the meeting be washed out.

"We'll have a look at the track again in the morning and we'll review the situation then," Brennan said.

"We would like to get an update from the weather bureau in the morning before we make any further decision.

"We'll look at what options we need to take then if the weather stays the same."

Doomben is rated a heavy 10 and the barrier draw for the Group One 10,000 will be conducted at a special function on Wednesday night.

Sydney trainer Grahame Begg is one trainer who favours postponing the meeting until next week.

"I'd be very happy to see it shifted to another day," said Begg.

Begg will saddle up All Silent, who will be ridden by Craig Williams in the Group One Doomben 10,000.

"They shifted the meeting the year Getting Closer won the 10,000 (in 1984)," Begg said.

"It would be very beneficial to everyone, except the sponsors, to shift the meeting."

The Brisbane weather bureau has changed its latest forecast and is now predicting heavy rain until Saturday when it will ease to heavy showers.
