Two heats will be contested at the 545m to establish the field for Monday’s final, worth a cool $2000 to the winner.
The opening heat appears on paper to be the stronger with three veteran chasers well-placed.
Flying Point, Rival Houdini and Sketchy Amber, have drawn the inside three boxes and boast 33 career wins between them.
Rival Houdini, prepared at Wybong by the astute Kevin Smith, is the most experienced runner with 75 career starts, highlighted by 12 wins.
Boggabri trainer Andrew Bell prepares Sketchy Amber, and two hopes in the second heat in Lektra Fella and Elusive Escapee.
Melanie Mabbott is making the trek from Duri with her charge Tiger Swuff, who drew box seven for the second heat, while Gunnedah’s William Marmara has Sam’s Legacy in the same event from box eight.
