Black DogKinloch Brae x Dasha (June, 2017) Prize money: $43,980

Starts: 17; 8-3-4WPK: 2; 2-0-0Best Time: 29.45 (best first split: 5.52)

Comment: Former Victorian trained chaser whose been nothing short of sensational since heading to NSW. Set the benchmark with his 29.45 semi-final win and interestingly draws box one tonight for the first time in his 17 start career. Set for a huge showing, it's a scary proposition, but he's only getting better.

TAB: $4.00

2. GOOD ODDS HARADATrainer: FRANK HURST (Win S/R 37%)

Brindle DogCollision x Solar Pak (April, 2017)Prize money: $138,650

Starts: 40; 18-12-6 WPK: 19; 9-5-3Best Time: 29.57 (best first split: 5.42)

Comment: There's been a real sense of timing about trainer Frank Hurst's approach to this series with his star sprinter and one gets the feeling he's ready to peak on the biggest night of all. Will be all the better for last week's stylish 29.66 semi-final win and if he steps cleanly it's hard to not see him lead. Boasts nine Wenty wins, would be a decent time to chalk up a tenth.

3. FLYING BAZZATrainer: JASON MACKAY (Win S/R 43%)

Fawn DogBarcia Bale x Mepunga Mia (May, 2017)Prize money: $27,745

Starts: 14; 7-4-1WPK: 5; 3-1-0Best Time: 29.78 (best first split: 5.56)

Comment: Quoted double figure odds which is fair but if there's any mix ups early, start looking for Flying Bazza to pounce. Is capable of running electrifying times but does need luck to fall his way early doors. If he finds the fence and clear running, he'll be the one steaming home.

TAB: $14.00

4. PINDARI EXPRESSTrainer: TRACEY SCRUSE (Win S/R 52%)

Black DogFabregas x Brook's Doll (May, 2016)Prize money: $82,140

Starts: 26; 15-7-1WPK: 6; 2-2-0Best Time: 29.41 (best first split: 5.49)

Comment: To be a bona fide winning chance he needed to draw wide so four is a pass mark, just. One of the most gifted chasers we've seen in the past 10 years and if he gets the start right on the biggest night of all the $9.50 on offer will look very appealing very quickly. First 20 metres vital to his chances, would be a fairy tale result for trainer Tracey Scruse, this fella the only race dog in her kennel.

TAB: $9.50

5. BLACK OPIUMTrainer: JASON THOMPSON (Win S/R 44%)

Black Female Black Magic Opal x Captivating (Mar, 2017) Prize money: $395,610

Starts: 36; 19-7-0WPK: 4; 3-0-0Best Time: 29.46 (best first split: 5.38)

Comment: Went like a machine to land her semi-final, running 29.46 for champion Victorian trainer Jason Thompson. Ran 5.38 early and if she repeats that tonight it will be drinks down. She's been runner-up at group 1 level on three occasions so what better time to break through for a big one than when $1 million is up for grabs to the victor!

TAB: $3.80

6. SHIMA SHINETrainer: ANDREA DAILLY (Win S/R 16%)

Black DogBarcia Bale x Shima Song (Nov, 2017)Prize money: $36,185

Starts: 11; 9-1-0WPK: 2; 2-0-0Best Time: 29.60 (best first split: 5.48)

Comment: Gives away age and experience to his opposition but he doesn't know that! Has enjoyed a spectacular start to his career winning 9 of 11 including a track record. Has won each of his two WPK starts and it would be no surprise to see this superstar youngster continue that unbeaten record tonight.

TAB: $6.50

7. JIMMY CASEYTrainer: PETER CARR (Win S/R 20%)

Red Brindle DogKinloch Brae x El Casey (May, 2017)Prize money: $49,265

Starts: 31; 10-6-3WPK: 17; 7-1-0Best Time: 29.73 (best first split: 5.54)

Comment: Whatever the result tonight, it's been a fantastic ride for central west trainer Peter Carr. Jimmy's the outsider of the field and understandably so but he's in career best form and is as strong as a bull. Will need luck in the early stages from a tricky box seven. Look for him to be getting home late.

TAB: $41.00

8. CURT LEETrainer: GLENN ROUNDS (Win S/R 39%)

Wh & Bdl Dog Fernando Bale x Rockin' Josie (June, 2017) Prize money: $85,455

Starts: 26; 17-3-1WPK: 2; 2-0-0Best Time: 29.83 (best first split: 5.39)

Comment: For mine this fella holds the key to the race. Genuine star who slogged it out for a gritty semi-final win last week. Forget the time, huge merit in the effort. Generally flies the lids and can run very slick sections. Has a terrific win strike-rate and he's won five of seven when wearing the pink. Huge chance.
