Tomorrow' main 520m event (Race 10) has a slightly fresh look to it, including a pair of greyhounds who look set to become regular Friday Hatrick attendees in the open class chasing ranks.

Lisa Cole debuted Blazin' Carter at this venue last Friday, and he blazed to an effortless four length victory, clocking 30.13s.

The former Aussie chaser looks set to serve up a repeat dose from the one trap.

Waitohi has displayed a fair amount of promise in only a handful of Hatrick races for her conditioner Angela Turnwald.

This youngster steps up to make her open class chasing debut following her bold last start C3/4 30.19s 520m win.

She owns a strong finish and she will be sighted wearing the white racing vest for this assignment.

Ask King Jeff is compiling a sound Hatrick 520m record and another competitive effort can be expected from this Cole-prepared greyhound from trap four.

Idol Tom requires no introduction to Hatrick Friday evening patrons.

He fronts up week in and week out for his 520m outings.

It has been 19 races since this bloke won his last race, with 15 of those being at this venue.

His trainer Marcie Flipp has returned Tom to stand on either side of the Hatrick podium on 11 occasions, two of those races being in Group 1 events.

Again, another minor placing looks best for this bloke from his six trap draw.

Night at the dogs in Whanganui

Cole has presented her sharp short course sprinter Sir Duggie to win the open class 305m dash over the last three Friday's.

His slick early pace has carried him to those victories and it looks like being no different in the Race 5, 305m sprint, even though he's required to hop away from the six trap for it.

Kennelmate Bigtime Blue was the runnerup to him last week and similarly looks likely from trap two in this dash.

Likely to enjoy his improved draw from trap one is the locally Wendy Kite-prepared Al's Apprentice, while Hypocritical is provided with swooping claims from the eight trap for Turnwald.
