2014 Group Three Chairman’s Cup Preview

will be the stage for the clash of Australia's staying Queens on Saturday evening when Xylia Allen and Sweet It Is go toe-to-toe in the Group Three Chairman's Cup.

It will be the 30th running of the race and promises to be one of the best yet.

The $25,000-to-the winner event also features the promising Zipping Maggie as well as multiple Group winner Dyna Willow and should provide a great spectacle for all those on hand at the Glebe circuit.

Will it be the front-running Xylia Allen who carts the field home? Or will the exciting fast finisher Sweet It Is mow the field down on her way to victory?

The Chairman's Cup is Race Eight on the card and is scheduled to jump at 9:57pm.

Here is a detailed look at all the runners with comments from connections;

Eddie Lieshout (Trainer): “What can you really say about the race? She is racing against two of the best stayers in the world. You might say I'd be better off buying a TattsLotto ticket than hoping to win but, really, I'll be over the moon if she runs a place. We know she is always going to give us 101%, I'm just glad she got box one, luck's a fortune.”

ARG Comments: A veteran bitch who has raced over this trip 24 times for just one win. She is a dour type who will keep on coming but is up against some very good ones here and is likely to find them too hot.

ARG Comments: Made a nice debut at the track in her upset heat win. She could find the front early and give them something to catch. She looks the best chance outside of the two favourites.

ARG Comments: Champion bitch who has found her early speed again. Clocked a sizzling 41.79 last week and is capable of going even faster. If she finds the front early it could be curtains. She is the one to beat.

(Trainer): “It is a big ask for her but I'm hoping that she can lead. If she can then she is a chance. She is going as well as ever but she is going to keep coming up against these good dogs. Realistically a place chance looks to be more of a hope for her.”

Tammy Collins (Kennel Representative): “She is lucky she was a reserve. She is not racing with a lot of confidence, I think she just needs a run where she is left alone for the first hundred metres so she can do what we know she can. She is jumping out of her skin this week so I'm just hoping for that little bit of luck.”

ARG Comments: Moderately performed bitch who qualified for the National Distance Final. She will need to improve on her best to be any chance of figuring in the placings should she gain a start.

Zipping Maggie (3) could well find the front early but is likely to be stalked by Xylia Allen (5).

If Xylia Allen can find the front easily enough then they are going to have to be very good to catch her.

Sweet It Is (4) will be in the back half of the field early but look for her to really unwind as they pass the 720 metre boxes in the run home. She will be the main danger to any front runner, she has a giant motor.

Dyna Willow (7) has the ability but will need a clean start and will also want to recapture her best form to be a winning chance.
