The club hosted its first meeting of the year on April 30 and has hosted a meeting every Saturday since.
Club president Robert Munn said there were "a lot of positive signs" heading into the Cup carnival.
"We had another good, successful meeting on Saturday," Munn said.
"Numbers have been pretty fair so far.
"They have actually been good considering how much racing is going on around us.
"But, the feedback regarding the track has been really positive."

Munn said the club opted to push back the dates of its annual Cup carnival to allow for more trainers to take part.
"So far there has been a fair bit of interest regarding the carnival, especially from outside the region," he said.
"We decided to push back the carnival to give trainers a chance to get there, given there is a lot of racing happening in places like Muswellbrook and Gunnedah.
"Honestly though, it's looking like it was a really good decision on our part at the moment.
"We're well ahead of schedule in terms of preparations and hopefully it should be a great carnival."
Tamworth will host its final meeting before the first carnival meeting on May 25.
"We will take a break this weekend coming before the carnival," Munn said.
"The track is in really good shape at the moment and we have been seeing some really competitive racing.
"Hopefully that continues."
