Bullicourt Elite will have to come out running again though, as he will have to overcome an awkward Box 6 draw.

Hansen has nominated the trained as the one to beat in his heat.

Sheoak Boxer will jump from inside Bullicourt Elite in Box 5, which is his first run back from a short let up.

Bullicourt Elite is rated a 10/1 chance in pre post betting markets, which is the last of the four Grade 5 heats on the program.

The four winners and second placed greyhounds from the heats will qualify for the final to be run next Wednesday night.

Bullicourt Vocal has been working up to a win, and broke through in a qualifying trial at on , when she led from start to finish.
