Eight talented youngsters will step out in the final of the Group Three Dean Industrial Maiden at Dapto tonight, with $25,000 in prize money up for grabs to the winner.
Whittaker has taken the series by storm after a blistering performance last week, clocking 29.55 for trainer Julie Fletcher, who has two live chances tonight with Martin Clegg exiting from box three.
Master Shot has drawn ideally in box one for trainer Dave Pringle and has a massive motor if he gets room to move. Melinda Finn's Winsome Prince has also been well-supported, however will have to overcome a difficult box six draw to be competitive in this affair.
Regardless of the result, these newcomers are stars on the rise and are definitely worth putting in your blackbook for the future.
Comment (Dave Pringle): “I couldn't be happier with the box draw. I just hope he can position himself well, because the race will be decided in the early stages.”
ARG Comment: Despite a poor box draw, a very consistent chaser who produced two impressive wins in his heat and semi final. Is not out of this if given a chance.

ARG Comment: The standout of the series with a blistering win last week in 29.55. Will need to step cleanly from the wide draw with lots of early pace in this final, however should blow them away if he's positioned well early on.
