The venue switch from Randwick to Warwick Farm will have little impact on trainer Joe Pride's star pair of Sacred Choice and Neeson on Saturday.

But he is concerned with the effect any future changes will have on their spring programs.

Pride will start dual Group One winner Sacred Choice in Saturday's Group Two Chelmsford Stakes (1600m) and the smart Neeson in the Group Three Tramway Hcp (1400m).

The meeting was set down for Randwick but was moved on Wednesday due to safety concerns over a section of the roof covering the Queen Elizabeth II grandstand.

Pride's pair is being aimed at feature races on George Main Stakes day and Epsom Handicap day, which are scheduled for Randwick on September 17 and October 1 respectively.

If Randwick is found to be unsafe to stage those meetings, they may also be switched to other venues and that may necessitate distance changes.

"They've got to make a decision on this because we've got to program for these carnival horses," Pride said.

"I would consider the George Main for Sacred Choice if it was over 1800 metres at Rosehill or 1600 metres at Warwick Farm.

"But then I would look at it for Neeson if it was over 1500 metres at Rosehill.

"I realise they are hamstrung at the moment but they've got to make these decisions in the next week or so.

"We need to know where we're headed."

Sacred Choice resumed with an even seventh to Pinwheel in the Warwick Stakes (1400m) on August 20.

She has never won second-up and Pride doesn't expect that to change, even though Saturday's field is not as strong as anticipated.

"Expectation is a killer and I didn't have any (first-up)," Pride said.

"She's not there and she won't be quite there on Saturday.

"The field is a bit weaker than what I thought, I'd like to strike a similar field third-up."

A final field of 12 accepted for the Chelmsford, among them Melbourne Cup runner-up Maluckyday who was also paid up for the Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at Flemington.

The Tramway attracted a bumper field of 16 plus four emergencies despite the change of venue.

Neeson drew barrier 19 but it wasn't enough to dent Pride's confidence.

"What can you do? It doesn't help him but he's primed up to run," he said.

"It's not as bad as at some other tracks."

Neeson won the Tramway 12 months ago and Pride said he was "probably better" this time around.

He will also run in-form mare Sienna Red in the opening event, the only race which had a distance change from 1800m to 1600m.

"It won't worry her at all, she won over the mile (1600m) last time," Pride said.

Tom's Rocket rounds out his team in the Carousel 1 Oct On Sale Now Hcp (1400m).
