Five heats of the 2023 Group 1 Queensland Cup worth $175,000 to-the-winner will be run and won at Albion Park on Thursday night.
AustralianRacingGreyhound.com has already had a look at the Queensland Cup ‘all-in' betting markets after the close of nominations and box draws.
With no significant moves since those prices went up at Australian greyhound bookmakers, it's time to look at the individual heats and see where betting value might be found.
2023 Group 1 Queensland Cup Heat 1
It is no surprise that the pre-post favourite Palawa King has also been quoted as the +130 betting favourite in the opening Qld Cup heat.
Despite Palawa King's obvious claims on the race, the ratings are suggesting though that value can be found backing Nangar Rocket at +210.
Looking wider the David Bailey-trained Me And You is overpriced at +8000, and Emerald Eyes from box one is close to the right price.
2023 Group 1 Queensland Cup Heat 2
Victorian greyhound Cash It In looks exceptionally good value with as much as +1400 being bet about its chances on greyhound betting sites.
The David Mackenzie-trained Tammy is the veteran of just 17 starts, and is way over the odds at +1900.
Notwithstanding the presence of Ariarne Bale and Days Of Thunder; Jedda Cutlack's Sorority and Respectability from box one are next best in terms of value given the odds on offer.
2023 Group 1 Queensland Cup Heat 3
The third heat of the 2023 Queensland Cup looks a wide open affair.
For some reason, the ratings have taken a set against the West Australian visitor Rippin' Grace who is is the +180 second favourite in the race behind Moraine Suzie at +160.
Those looking for value and happy to work around the favourites should look toward Hara's River at +600, and Osprey Storm who is huge overs at +2500.
2023 Group 1 Queensland Cup Heat 4
Victorian greyhound trainer Tim Britton has two greyhounds engaged in the fourth cup heat, but we're going to look toward his outsider On The Off as the main value bet in this race.
On The Off has been rated as a +293 hope through the ratings, and yet we're able to secure +1400 about its chances on greyhound betting apps.
Blue Hornet, Untapped and to a lesser extent, Wheel And Go are all quoted at close to their real prices.
2023 Group 1 Queensland Cup Heat 5
The final of the five heats to decide the finalists for the $262,505 Group 1 final, and bookies have put First Picked up as an overbet favourite at +130.
Looking for betting value, we'll be having something on Oh Oh Range at +1400, and Dirt Farmer who is good value at +400.
Wendy Rocks and the favourite look the best of the rest.
With five heats of the Group 1 staying race, only the winners and the three fastest seconds will progress to the rich final.
The $262,505 feature 2023 Group 1 Queensland Cup final will be run on Friday July 7 2023 at Albion Park, paying $175,000 to-the-winner.
