The centre of attention at tonight's Hatrick meeting will focus on the Race 11 open class 305m sprint.

Wearing the blue racing vest in this dash will be the Lisa Ahern-prepared Exponential Lily who will be shooting for his 11th straight Hatrick 305m victory.

His current winning sequence started on July 11 and since then he has remained undefeated each Friday evening.

Exponential Lily's series of wins hasn't been flash or exceptional; he has gone about his task in true tradesman-like fashion, digging in deep with some of those wins being achieved by narrow margins.

Going into tonight's event he still requires another four wins to equal the New Zealand record for the most consecutive race wins.

That tally stands at 14 straight, which is remarkably shared by five other greyhounds and includes the former Hatrick favourite, the champion canine Little Mother.

All five stumbled in their 15th outing when attempting to secure the record for themselves.

Exponential Lily's race is the third leg of tonight's second TAB Quaddie.

The open class 520m chasers starts the Quaddie on Race 9.

Royal Runner was luckless in last Friday's Lochinvar Marlow Waterloo Cup heat here, where the Ahern-mentored pair of Mammy Brown and Ritza Danny earned the right to represent the region in Sunday's stunning Group 1 $21,000 Waterloo Cup field at the Manukau Stadium.

Royal Runner is poised to extract her revenge tonight, while kennelmate Indiana Izmir looms as her biggest danger.

The second leg sees the slippery sprinter Run Lacey Run back from a brief spell. She is drawn to make it a winning return.

Kennelmate Popsome Tags is also fresh tonight and can feature, while an improved draw for Armed Forces is likely to lift his claims.

Exponential Lily appeals as a Quaddie anchor in the third leg, while the speedy pair of Miss Allegro and Caesar Queen are well placed with inside draws in the last leg.

Upset claims can be made for Boston Blaze, Enazuma and Belkara in this sprint.
