Once again, the Albion Park Harness Racing Club will play host to a strong ten race program this Saturday night.
The main event this week is the $20,000 Jim McNeil Memorial Trotting Championship Final, following two rounds of heats over the past fortnight, a keenly contested final under stand-start conditions is expected.
Key players include Johnny Springfield, a winner of both heats while Justabitnoisy, Lansbury, Makarewa Monarch, Joseph H and Daytona Beach also have strong winning claims.
But punters will be eagerly anticipating the opening event on the program.
And they have the chance to win big with gambling giant UBET offering a massive $200,000 guaranteed trifecta pool on the opening race, the Horsepower Nutrition Pace.
A $50,000 jackpot is also slated for the same race.
Last start winner Ellmer Hanover will have plenty of admirers despite a second-line draw, the Vicki Rasmussen prepared pacer relished a genuine speed last week before overpowering his rivals late last week.
Interestingly, that was her maiden victory at the track.
The well-drawn pair of Marty Bee and Long Term Fella will both command respect, both are hard-running types who appear suited from the inside draws.
Other winning chances include One Eyed Terror, Deano Robyn, Packnplenty, Arma Legend, Ideal Situation and Feel The Courage.
A guaranteed $25,000 Quadrella pool is also slated; the quaddie will be staged on races 2, 3, 4 & 5.
Most legs of the quaddie appear open and loaded with chances which could easily provide value for punters.
And a $10,000 guaranteed trifecta pool on race 3 is also programmed.
