Conditions are expected to be similar for tomorrow's Melbourne Cup festivities at Moe Racing Club, with a forecast top of just 16 degrees.

About 3200 people attended Ladies' Day, 400 down from last year, but Latrobe Valley Racing Club manager Brendan Blackshaw said he viewed the carnival as a success, considering the weather.

``People enjoyed themselves despite the weather and were still streaming through the gate at the normal time,'' Mr Blackshaw said.

He said marquee numbers were the same as last year.

The Fashions on the Field final was moved undercover, with Melinda Lieshout winning the ladies category, Ashleigh Albanese claiming runner up, Luke Dabkowski scoring a double in the best dressed men's category after winning at the Moe Cup last month and Warren and Lynette James winning best dressed couple.

Five year-old bay gelding Tough Future led the Albroys Subaru Handicap feature race, on a track that withstood the wet conditions.

Just two millimetres of rain was recorded at Latrobe Regional Airport, a far cry from the predicted 20mm to 40mm.

Races ran without a problem unlike Derby Day at Flemington Racecourse, where races were held up due to the 54.6mm of rain that fell across Melbourne.

While the Latrobe Valley again missed out on the rain that swamped much of the rest of the state it received more than 90mm for the month.

Parts of west and south Gippsland received up to 45mm while the Yarra Valley had about 80mm dumped on it to 9am on Sunday.

The Valley caught some rain on Sunday, with 10.6mm recorded at the airport, 21mm at Jeeralang North and 19mm at Moe South.
