DYNA TRON (7) is absolutely flying at the moment and despite getting rundown late in the final of the Brisbane Cup last start he should be able to dominate these. He is very quick out and from this wide box draw he will get plenty of room to wind up and win. The smart Tasmanian LIKA WHISPER (1) has won 5 from 6 here and even though he disappointed last start he should be respected and will be up there battling it out for a place. He can get a bit wide though so keep this in mind. The Queenslander COAL KING (6) has shown plenty of potential and he would not have been sent down here if they do not think that he will be competitive. He could get a good run across with the favourite so definitely include him for a place. Both ALLEN LAWSON (5) & LORINGO (8) look to be the next best and it would be wise to include these 2 runners in the back end of the quartet.

SPRING SPECIAL (1) was very impressive winning here last week from this very box in a quick time of 29.41. She has the box draw to do it again tonight but she does face a steep rise in class. The speedy beginner ZIPPSTAR (4) will be looking to lead this race and with a railer drawn on his inside he may get a nice cart into the race. He is capable of running good times so definitely keep him safe for the win in this. The strong DYNA MORRIS (5) is going to need a bit of luck from this tough box draw but if he is able to get a good run in behind the speed he could finish over the top of them. WHERE’S DEMONICA (6) has not been finding much luck of late but from out here in this field she could prove to be a potential knockout chance. Try to keep her safe in wide novelties. Both CROSSFARNOGUE (2) & BLOSS’S BENSON (3) are getting on in years but from their inside box draws they are both more than capable of popping up in the back end of the quartet.

The smart Graeme Bate runner DAVID BALE (1) has been in fine form of late running quick times in Victoria and from this perfect box draw despite having his first start down here he should just be winning this. In what is not an overall strong heat the local chaser WANDY NEG (8) appears to be the most likely to push the favourite in the one box. He has won 4 from 6 here and must be respected. The other Victorian chaser MISS ROMAN NOSE (3) is a very quick beginner and she has raced here in the past at the beginning of her career winning an impressive 4 from 4 at this track. She could prove to be the knockout winner if she finds the early lead and there is trouble behind her. Beyond these 3 it is very open and playing the field would be a wise option.

DAMEK (1) was upset last week when he could not get across from a wide draw but tonight from the cherry he looks set to bounce back. His record here is sensational and he should be winning this. MOJITO (8) was another runner that could not get cross from out wide in the same race and despite drawing wide again tonight this is a different field and he looks more likely to be able to cross tonight. Definitely keep him safe for the win in wide quartets. Both PLACE YOUR BET (3) & CENTENNIAL BARK (7) have good records here and need to be included high up in the placings. Respect must be given to KATSIDIS (6) who is having his first start in Tasmania after arriving from Victoria.

ISO OCTANE (4) loves this track and now that he has 3 runs under his belt after resuming from a spell he looks set to bring up another win. Last week he ran a top second behind RADLEY BALE in a Cup heat. BOGIE KING (8) continues to run consistently but at his last 4 starts he has run second on each occasion. He has the tough pink box to contend with but he is all class and he will be up there pushing for the victory in this. METZ MAGIC (6) is another classy greyhound that has a wide box draw to contend with but judging by last week’s nice third in a cup heat he looks set to run another big race tonight. MATILDA’S CHARM (1) is no slouch and with the bonus of drawing the red box she should be respected as a potential knockout winner in this over her more credentialed rivals. STACK ‘EM FLAT (2) could be dangerous in this, he has resumed well from a long spell winning nicely at The Meadows and Sandown recently. He has raced here before and with a decent jump he could surprise a few of these. The overall strength of this race is strong so play as wide as possible in a flexi.

The box draw in any major final in vitally important but when the inform Melbourne Cup winner comes up with the red box the result could have already been determined. DYNA TRON (1) should be able to ping out from down here and lead and it will be his race to lose. The inform NSW chaser SPRING GUN (2) is also drawn well in the 2 box and if anyone can put the pressure on the favourite it will be him. He actually went quicker than DYNA TRON last week so definitely respect his winning chances also. The freakish BEKIM BALE (5) has the tough squeeze box to contend with in this but if he gets a little bit of luck and is close to them turning for home he could get himself into the photo. Both RADLEY BALE (6) & HE KNOWS UNO (7) are going to have their work cut out for them in this from their respective box draws. Whilst they are unlikely to be winning this both should be kept safe for the placings. Out of the 3 local hopes GLEN GALLON (3) & RADICAL DOS (4) have the best chances of pushing for a back end place but they will be rather rough and will require some local luck.

The Tassie champ DAMEK (6) won again last week and he will be well fancied to repeat the dose this week. If he does win he will bring up win number 20 at Hobart from only his 24^th start. He will not have it all his way however as plenty of pressure will be coming from LIKA WHISPER (1) & COMPACTO (2). Both of these greyhounds are unbeaten at the track and with their superior box draws could easily upset the champ. The 2 greyhounds drawn out wide MOJITO (7) & PLACE YOUR BET (8) are very talented also and if for some reason the inside division crowds up then they could get the run across and prove to be knockout winners. Definitely keep them safe in wide quartets. The rest of the field is very even and playing the field for 4^th would be advisable.

The flying NSW chaser SPRING GUN (4) has been on fire at Wentworth Park culminating with his victory in the Group 1 Vic Peters Final. He has been running quick times and if handles this track first up he will be mighty hard to beat. The local chasers are best represented by METZ MAGIC (3) & RADICAL DOS (8). Both will have local knowledge to their advantage however both will have their work cut out for them. Maybe placings will be their most likely results tonight. WA is represented by VOCAL ENFORCER (6) who is fresh off his Group 2 All Stars victory. He is going to need a bit of luck from out here but he is very tenacious and could easily play a part in the finish. Respect must also be given to TONNELI BALE (7) & GABLE DRUM (1) who are both very dangerous on their nights and should be kept very safe.

This is a high quality FTA race with numerous winning hopes and potential scenarios of how the race will be run. WHERE’S PANCHO (4) has been back to his best winning his last 2 starts by dictating from the front. He has the pace to do the same tonight. LED ZEPLIN (2) is speedy early also and if he finds a clear lead then he is the sort of runner that could prove to be a knockout winner in this. RAWSON REASON (3) will need a bit of luck going into the first corner but if he gets it like he did last week then he is more than capable of going back to back in this line-up. There is plenty of class drawn out wide with all the runners drawn boxes 5 outwards being a little slow out of the lids however they are all capable of finishing this race off powerfully. The inside division will not want to crowd up because if they do this race could have the potential of turning into a race for the strong dogs. Play wide and cover these 2 options.

BLING IT ON (1) has come up trumps with the box draw and from his 8 exits from the red he has won 6 times and placed second on the other 2 occasions. As a result he is a must to be considered for the win in this tough final. GRANDUER (5) was the quickest qualifier winning his heat in a time of 41.84 but that effort was from box 1. The move out to the squeeze box is not ideal but he is very smart so definitely include him for the win still. ECHELON (3) has won his last 2 on end here both in solid times and with his good mustering speed he should be prominent early on. He is another one of the main winning chances in this open final. SLICK LEE (6) has a great record here over this trip. From his 11 starts he has finished in the top 3 in 10 of them. He has to be included as a place chance on the back of that record. Both ZIPPING MALFOY (4) & ZIPPING LAD (7) have good early speed that could see them race in the forward division of this race. They will have their work cut out for them to win but they should be respected for a placing in the back end of the quartet.

DYNA BERT (1) has the box draw to be very hard to beat in this. He finished 1 length behind BEKIM BALE in a time of 29.34 last week and if he runs up to that sort of time in this he will be very hard to rundown. RADLEY BALE (6) has been on fire over the past few weeks and despite drawing a bit difficultly tonight he will be finishing this race off powerfully and should be up there in the finish. REWIND (7) is another runner that will need a bit of luck from the wide box draw but so far from his 6 starts here he is yet to miss the money so he should be respected. DAVID BALE (2) is a very strong chaser that will appreciate the inside box draw. He placed in 29.40 last week and with clear running he could run over the top of these. AMAKLER GIRL (8) has plenty of early speed and from this box she could easily cross this field. The only question mark will be her strength and at this stage a placing looks to be her best result.

Box draws are so important in these big races and the $200,000 to the winner Melbourne Cup does not come any bigger. SHEREEN BALE (1) has drawn the converted red box and judging by her effort last week when leading throughout in a time of 29.37 she will have a massive chance of winning this. The fastest greyhound in the field is BEKIM BALE (4) who holds the track record here of an amazing 28.96. He may need a bit of luck in the early stages but if he gets it the others had better watch out. With so much early speed in this final if the speedsters all get in each other’s way there is one greyhound that will be looking to take advantage of this. That greyhound is NUMERO UNO BALE (2) who is very much suited by the rails draw. He is super strong when it matters so definitely find room for him for a place at least. Both ALLEN ELROY (6) & DYNA TRON (7) have good early speed out of the boxes but both face a big task to lead these clearly. Obviously if either of these 2 quality greyhounds were able to do so then they could easily lead this all of the way but luck will have to be on their side. The only non Wheeler owned greyhound in the field is ENRY WALT (3). He loves racing here but he will feel that he has the weight of the world on his shoulders in this. Whilst he is better suited out wide he should not be forgotten in this especially for a place. Both BALA BALE (5) & DYNA MORRIS (8) will have their work cut out for them from their respective box draws and on paper it would be surprising to see them having any real influence in this final.

We kick off the happy hour with a top Melbourne Cup heat that sees the 2 inform greyhounds MEPUNGA NICKY (3) & BEKIM BALE (8) go head to head. MEPUNGA NICKY has been on fire winning the Group 3 SA Oaks, Group 1 Adelaide Cup and placing second in the Group 1 Vic Peters final at her most recent starts. She gets out quick and if she lands on the bunny she will be very hard to rundown. BEKIM BALE loved the 4 dog field in the shootout last week winning in a quick time of 29.13. He will need a bit of luck from this wide box draw but if he gets clear running he could be too powerful for these on the run home. These 2 greyhounds standout in what is a very classy heat. DYNA BERT (2) is well drawn in this box and he could easily get the run of the race behind the favourites, definitely find a spot for him high up in the placings. Both NO JUSTICE (5) & AUTOAMERICAN (7) have come up with poor box draws but they are both strong finishes and could easily sneak into the back end of the quartet at each way odds. Include the field for 4^th as they are all capable of featuring in that position.

CAPE HAWKE (8) ran a nice race in the shootout last week and after leading early on he was eventually overwhelmed by BEKIM BALE & RADLEY BALE. He will again be looking to lead in this and if he does he may just find this an easier race to hang on in. HESTON BALE (5) is a youngster that has a 29.14 run under his belt here. He will obviously need some luck in this from the box draw but with a better beginning he could easily take this out. ENRY WALT (3) has been struggling a bit of late but he is a classy greyhound and should not be underestimated in a race like this. AMAKLER GIRL (2) has plenty of early speed and could find herself leading these. She may not have the strength to finish the job off must she can certainly figure prominently in the back end of the placings. Consider using her as an anchor greyhound. Again play wide in the back end to cover all bases in this top quality heat.

RADLEY BALE (4) ran a nice race last week in the shootout finishing second to BEKIM BALE. He will race in the forward division of this race and will prove to be the hardest to beat. BLACK HOMBRE (2) will be just in behind the early speed and last week he ran a nice second placing in a slick 29.46. He is a great each way chance in this. The classy OAKS ROAD (8) had his first start here last week from this same box draw and received no luck whatsoever; if his luck changes this week then he can certainly push the likes of these. NUMERO UNO BALE (7) is a super strong finisher and if he is anywhere near them out on the back straight then he is more than capable of finishing on over the top of them. Definitely include him for the win in wide quartets. FLASH DRIVE (1) will be flashy early on and will more than likely be leading this race. His strength is the big worry but he could hang on for a spot in the back end of the quartet.

GRANDUER (1) is well boxed in the red and despite having not won here over this journey yet he does look to be a genuine threat to BOBBY. BLING IT ON (2) was on fire over this trip in October winning 3 in a row over it and despite not quite being up to the class of the above 2 mentioned greyhounds winning form is good form so show him plenty of respect. These 3 greyhounds on paper seem to have a mortgage on the race so skinny players will certainly be able to play them up front safely. Wider players will certainly want to introduce the field for 3^rd & 4^th and hope for some roughies to find their way into the back end placings.

OAKS ROAD (8) ran a solid 4^th in the Topgun Final and last week he trialled in quick 29.37 here. He can tend to be a bit of a bridesmaid but he must also be respected as one of the main winning chances. MEPUNGA GOERDIE (1) is very speedy on his night and from this draw he is a perfect 2 from 2. If he runs up to his PB of 29.59 then he will definitely be up there in the finish. These 3 look to be the main players for the front of the quartet. Play PROVEN MAYHEM (2), COOLAN MISS (6) & SLEEP WALK (7) as the main place chances in the back end.

This year’s shootout is a very interesting affair with 4 speedy greyhounds heading to the boxes where the first to the post will more than likely be the ultimate winner of the race. The track record holder BEKIM BALE (5) has only raced 7 times but if he can get to that lead or sit a very close second then he has the obvious speed to win this. His 28.96 record could be in danger from himself tonight. RADLEY BALE (1) has won 8 from 11 starts from this box and he is the sort of greyhound that will keep finding if he does hold them out on the first corner. Don’t be surprised if he uses all of his experience to hold off his young up start rivals. CAPE HAWKE (3) has run back to back times of 29.13 & 29.20 here so he is quick enough to win this but he is probably the slowest out which is a big concern in this race. ALLEN HARPER (7) is fresh of a dominant Topgun victory but he is going to have his work cut out for him to make it back to back Group race victories at his first run at this track from this wide box draw.

The box draw has come up trumps for POINT TWO OVER (1). He has raced out of this box 7 times for 4 wins and 2 placings and 3 starts back he won from this very box in a slick time of 29.67. He does look to be the hardest to beat in this. The classy pair of RANDOM TEST (4) & WHERE’S PANCHO (5) are both used to running in this FTA class of racing and as a result appear to be the most likely greyhounds that could cause an upset. However with the box draw the way it is they are more likely to run a placing behind the one dog. Beyond these 3 main players the rest of the field is rather open so it would be wise to play as wide as possible behind them.

KIALDU ANNA (1) has come up with the box draw advantage on her rivals that will most probably see her start as favourite. She led all of the way from this box last week in good time so it would not surprise if lightning strikes twice. Big pressure will come from BARRIQUE (2) who is well drawn near the rail and so far he is a perfect 2 from 2 over this trip. If he can track the early leaders he will definitely be snapping at their heels on the run home. SLEEP WALK (4) has plenty of early speed and he could easily cross the inside division and give them something to chase. He has won 2 in a row over this trip but his times are not quite as quick as the other fancies. Winning form is obviously good form but perhaps a place will be his most likely result tonight. GRANDUER (7) is not suitably drawn out here but he does have the quickest PB of the field and if he gets a bit of luck and runs up to that 34.06 run then he could prove to be difficult to beat. The rest of the field are very even and are all more than capable of registering a back end placing so play as wide as possible for 3^rd and 4^th.

MOJITO (8) was a beaten favourite from this draw last week in a very similar field but he still should be stuck with again this week. Play him for the win mostly but have some cover just in case he finishes second again. The greyhound that beat him was INNISFREE MISS (3). She has been competing very well in this Invitation class and has caused 2 upsets in recent weeks so she has to be kept safe as an each way chance again. BIT REGAL (7) ran another top placing last week from this very box draw and it could be a case of history repeating so consider using him as an anchor for a place. LIKA WHISPER (5) has won his last 3 starts with 2 of them being here both in quick times. He is up in grade and has a difficult box to contend with but he should be kept safe as a value winning chance. Beyond these the field is very even so it would be wise to play wide for 3^rd & 4^th.

The box draw will be vitally important in this race and the speedy MISS ROMAN NOSE (1) has come up trumps with the red. She will need to run up to her best in this company but if she can lead easily then she will have every chance to do so. DON CHENDO (2) disappointed last week but the week prior he was a smart FTA winner in a time of 29.55. It may pay to forgive his run last week and include him for the win in this. NUMERO UNO BALE (4) will be flying home late at the business end of the race. He looks to be a great anchor suggestion. DINO FERRARI (3) is a dangerous greyhound and from this good inside draw he is more than capable of getting up in this at each way odds. These inside 4 greyhounds appear to be the most likely with perhaps the pink runner ZERO’S HERO (8) standing out in front of the rest but it would still be a wise option play wide in the back end of the quartet with the field.

DON CHENDO (1) won the FTA race last week in fine style from the squeeze box and now that he has drawn much better in the red he has to be fancied to make it back to back victories in this. Plenty of pressure will be coming from NUMERO UNO BALE (2) who ran home powerfully last Saturday at The Meadows to beat the talented BEKIM BALE. From this good inside draw he has undeniable each way claims. HESTON BALE (8) is a boom youngster that has a 29.14 run under his belt here, obviously if he runs up to that time he will be almost impossible to beat but he will have his work cut out for him from out here in the pink against these. FANCY DEAN (3) arrives from NSW with plenty of credentials. He will need to find the bunny early on in this considering it is his first look at the track. Keep him safe as he could easily play a part in the finish. These 4 chasers are the main players with perhaps LAUNCHINATOR (6) & DAINTREE ROCKET (7) the next best so consider these 2 for a position in the back end of the quartet.

MOJITO (8) will enjoy not having DAMEK in this race and as a result will be well fancied to win. 2 and 3 weeks back he comfortably won similar races to this and from out here he will have plenty of time to wind up and cross to the early lead. DECEMBRIST (6) has had a month off but prior to that he had won 3 races in a row up at Launceston. He has a good record here and if the favourite falters he could be the one to take advantage. BIT REGAL (7) has been running plenty of placings in these invitation style races and there is no reason to suggest that this trend cannot continue so definitely include him for 2^nd & 3^rd. Also INNISFREE MISS (5) & REGENT TYPHOON (3) are both the sorts of greyhounds that could easily land a spot in the back end of the quartet so include these runners accordingly.

BLING IT ON (3) is in form winning his last 2 races and from this box draw he should be able to land in a prominent position. Include him as a great each way hope. GRANDUER (2) has run placings behind BLING IT ON of late and from this good inside box draw he looks to be a great place anchor option for those that play their quartets in that fashion. ZIPPING LAD (5) is a classy NSW stayer that has the visitor’s box to contend with. If he runs up to his best form then he could easily take this out. PILLOW TORQUE (7) is capable of throwing her weight around in this race also, whilst a win would surprise she could easily lob into the placings.

The DAMEK (7) train rolls back into town tonight and after resuming with a win at Devonport he looks set to dominate this as he tends to always do. Obviously MOJITO (2) will be his main danger as that chaser in flying at the moment but he is the champ and will not give up his crown easily. INNISFREE MISS (5) was impressive again finishing runner up behind MOJITO last week and she looks to be one of the main chances to run a place in this. Behind these 3 main chances perhaps REGENT TYPHOON (3) & LEAROYD LAHRS (8) appear to be the best hopes to land a spot in the back end of the quartet.

SMOKE HOME (4) has been chasing in fine form for some time now and with his early speed out of the boxes he should find himself in this race for a long time. He is a special to finish somewhere in the top 3. MISS ROMAN NOSE (7) is another speedy beginner that has the potential to lead this race or at least land in a forward position. This is not an overly strong field so those greyhounds that race on the speed will hold the key to the finish. NO JUSTICE (8) is the one greyhound that has the ability to run down the leaders but he is going to need to have plenty of luck from this tough pink box draw. CROSSFARNOGUE (1) is very experienced here and from this box draw he will certainly have a big chance of landing a placing in the back end of the quartet. This field is very open so an upset would not surprise and it will pay to play as wide as possible and introduce the field for 3^rd & 4^th.

With pretty much all of the heat winners leading all of the way last week the race to the first corner will be where the race in won. The box draw advantage suits the classy RADLEY BALE (2) as he could be the one that gets the best run into the first corner. He went 29.50 last week and with the experience of that run under his belt he is likely to go even quicker tonight. MEPUNGA NICKY (8) continued her love affair with this track last week leading all of the way in a time of 29.55, she will be looking to bring up another group win here after defeating MIATA in the SA Oaks final 4 weeks back. CAPE HAWKE (7) is a greyhound on the rise and if he can get a bit of luck from this tricky box draw than he is more than capable of winning this. He ran the quickest of the heats last week and if he repeats that 29.33 run then he could prove to be hard to beat. Both ALLEN HERTZ (5) & ALLEN HARPER (6) are no slouches but both are going to have to have a bit of racing luck from their box draws. Either way they need to be kept very safe in this.

GLEN GALLON (2) was very impressive at his first run for over a month last week and from this better box draw tonight he can definitely turn the tables on PRINCE DIABLO (7) He has won 7 out of 10 here so it would not be wise to include him for the win. PRINCE DIABLO will not find it as easy to cross this field tonight and the worry for him is that he may get posted wide on the first corner. If he can avoid trouble then of course he can win this but don’t put all of your eggs in one basket with him. HE KNOWS UNO (1) is a strong greyhound and he will get a great run from this perfect box draw. He is certainly the main danger to the 2 above mentioned greyhounds. BOGIE KING (3) loves this track and his record of 19 starts here for 11 wins & 5 placings clearly illustrates this. He must be considered in wide quartets as a knockout winning chance in this. These 4 greyhounds appear to be the most likely to figure prominently in this but overall the field is very strong and playing the field for 3^rd & 4^th is advised in a flexi bet option.

The champion chaser RADLEY BALE (3) has won impressively at his last 2 starts leading all the way in some quick times including a slick 29.20 Sandown win. He has not raced here before but he is a chasing professional and with a quick jump he will be very hard to rundown. DINO FERRARI (2) will look to rail up underneath the favourite and he has the advantage of trialling on the track last week. He is capable of finishing his races off strongly so it would be wise to keep him safe in the market. The best of the local hopes in this heat is POINT TWO OVER (8). He performs well from this draw and if the inside division crowds up then he could be the one that swoops on them from out wide but he will need plenty to go right for him if that is to happen. Perhaps include ALLEN LAWSON (6) & PUSH THE PAINT (5) in the back end of the quartet as both are more than capable of filling a placing.

MOJITO (2) has adjusted to Tasmanian racing very well with his 3 races starts here netting 2 wins with both of them coming in slick times. He is well drawn and will have every chance to lead this race all of the way. INNISFREE MISS (3) upset a similar line-up at good each way odds 3 weeks back so value players will want to include her as a potential knockout greyhound again from this good box draw. The veteran pair of FISHERMAN (1) & REGENT TYPHOON (6) must also be considered as solid place hopes as both are suited by their box draws. With the right runs they could also spring a surprise and get up for a win.

The speedy beginner MYSTIC APPLE (1) is well drawn down here in the red and if he backs up his slick 29.23 win of 2 weeks back then he should prove to be almost impossible to beat. Bad luck appears to be his biggest danger. DISRAELI (2) is a strong greyhound that should be able to get a top sit in behind the red runner. Whilst it is unlikely that he will win this he does look to be a great option to use as an anchor. Both SIMPLY CHARLIE (3) & GAELIC BALE (5) have good early speed and both should be able to find themselves in good positions early on in this. Definitely keep them both safe for the placings. COME ON LUANN (4) is capable on her night and she will be finishing this race off powerfully when it matters. Try and find room for her in the back end of the quartet also.

PRINCE DIABLO (8) caused quite allot of noise when he won a heat of the Paws Of Thunder in a very slick 29.56 but at his 2 runs since that performance he has struggled finishing 6^th & 5^th both in quartet jackpot races. Punters will have to again include him for the win but don’t put all of your eggs in the one basket considering he is having his first start here. The main local chance in this is GLEN GALLON (5) who won the QLD National Sprint Final. He has won 8 of 12 on the track and despite drawing a tough box he has the local knowledge and will be very hard to beat. The greyhound drawn in the red ISADEL (1) is a bit of a city or the bush greyhound. From her 20 starts on the track she has 11 wins to her name and zero placings. It could be a case of including her for the win and nothing else. Consider playing both NOIR WARRIOR (4) & HONEY LASS (6) safe for the placings also.
