Among the contestants are: Milldean Panther, Broadstrand Lad, Airforce Roger, Piercestown Sand, Fastaway King and Mines A Pint.
Bettor.com presents an exclusive preview of this high voltage meeting. Our statistical analysis will be quite helpful for the punters.
Milldean Panther was surely a bit rusty in his previous race, as he finished third behind Broadstrand Lad.
Yet, nobody can overlook his chances, as the black dog has been impressive since his debut.
He started off his career in August last year, and remained unbeaten till March 3. He has taken part in nine races so far, emerging as winner on eight occasions.
On the last weekend, the dog failed to show a winning performance for the first time in his career.
With such an outstanding track record, the O'Flynn-trained is currently leading the market for today’s finale.
Broadstrand Lad also has four back to back wins under his belt. In the semi-final, the black dog thrashed Milldean Panther to seal the top slot comfortably.
Hence, he will start the proceedings with a psychological advantage. In his previous race, the son of Hallucinate out of Kiln Lark displayed a dominating performance, leading the race from pillar to post.
Airforce Roger might come up with an upset. The black and white dog finished second in each of his last three races. Therefore, he needs something different to aim for the top spot.
The remaining three hounds also did well in the earlier rounds of the championship, but they will find it difficult against the likes of Broadstrand Lad and Milldean Panther.
Conclusion
All hounds performed magnificently to make it to the finale, and will look to continue doing well. However, the real clash will be between Broadstrand Lad and Milldean Panther.
Both in-form hounds are well capable of accomplishing the feat. Our vote goes to
Milldean Panther, who is aiming to take revenge of his semi-final trouncing.
