ARG Comment: Is ideally drawn in box one and showed good stamina last week to finish second behind Lucy Lobster. Will need to be in a handy position mid-race to have any chance of saluting in this affair, but can carve out a nice time and give trainer Christine Oldfield another Vic Peters title.

Carole Eaton (Kennel Representative): “I am just so excited to be in this final. I couldn't be happier with the box draw as he's a mad railer and a good beginner as well. He will need some luck because there's some very good dogs in this race, but anything can happen.”

Comment – Glenn Rounds (Trainer): “I'm hoping he's not too far back heading around the first corner and can get some room to move. He's a very consistent dog and has gone well in this series, so I'm just hoping for a bit of luck and that he can finish off the race strongly.”

Anthony Azzopardi (Trainer): “I think he's only a place chance. It's going to be hard to win from box seven. It's a good box for him, but to much pace in box five and six, so it's going to be hard to get across. We are only hoping for a good result.”

Jason Fletcher (Trainer): “I'm not confident with box eight, but he has plenty of ability and I'm just hoping he can avoid trouble at the first turn. If he's close enough he can win, but there's some very strong dogs in the race that he may not be able to run down.”
