The Betfair Breeder’s Final (R6) will showcase Tasmania’s top young pups and owner breeders Karlene Cutbertson and Sallyanne Wilson have six of the eight finalists at Tattersall’s Park tonight. Millie Minor from the Mick Stringer kennel looks the best of them. This daughter of Where’s Pedro has a personal best of 26.17 but does appear awkwardly boxed in five. Ted Medhurst’s Zorro’s Legacy although beaten in last week’s semi behind Director still appears the likely winner. Having the fastest time of 26.01 this son of Bombastic Shiraz only needs some clean air early to show what he can do. After Millie Minor, Pak and Wrap and Director look the next best for the multiples. The Chinatown Lad Distance Series Final will give National hopeful and Track record holder Bell Haven another look at the grueling 709m trip. She has won her last five and is quoted at the prohibitive odds of $1.30. Now it would be foolish to suggest that Beaudine could beat her however he did get into trouble last week and was motoring home to be beaten by 2 ½. Trainer Butch Deverell admitted that it was hard to get him ready for long distance racing after a successful Derby campaign in Launceston over the sprint but believes he will improve on last week’s run. 461m Track Record Holder Bergermeister (R8) is back in form and should be hard to beat in the Invitation. Best Bets: R1 No 8 Fair Go, R5 No 5 Cassomac Levi, R6 No 7 Zorro’s Legacy. Best E/W: R7 No 2 Bosco, R9 No 8 Pretty In Blue, R10 No 6 Olwyn. Preview by Peter Hayes
