Sportingbet Park will host six Group races including the Sandown Guineas over a mile and the Sandown Cup over 2 miles.
Voice Kids 2014 participant Grace Laing will perform the national anthem, before cheering on the sidelines for horses trained by her father Robbie Laing.
Off the track, there will be pony rides, face painting, jumping castles and a reptile farm.
The Sandown Guineas Fashions on the Field will be hosted by model and presenter Bree Laughlin. Winners and runners-up will share in a $20,000 prize pool of luxury accommodation, shopping vouchers and much more.
