The race 10 open class 520m event sees the return here of last Friday's Wanganui Derby runner-up Thrilling Boris.
The Karen Walsh-trained Group 1 winner was resuming from kennel cough then.
He would have derived a fair amount of benefit from that outing.
Kennelmate Mi Tensile is a proven chaser at the elite level and his claims here cannot be lightly dismissed.
The Canterbury-prepared Letron James was the recent NZ Cup first reserve.
He has proven to be a competitive Addington 520m performer since he crossed the Tasman for his conditioner Craig Roberts.
There's plenty of local firepower also lining up here.
For example the Matt Roberts trained Cawbourne Brick is a hardened, experienced chaser on this track.
Lisa Ahern, who has recently taken over the lead on the national trainers' premiership table, will load away the talented greyhound Sheer Miss into the two-trap here.
Local trainer Brian Goldsack is lining up his smart Monday Manawatu 457m winner Takamori here, while the claims of Miss Eldora from the Angela Turnwald kennels cannot be ignored from the ace-trap.
Ahern trained sprinters dominate both of the open class 305m sprints this evening.
Race 5 is the first of them where Subic Bay can regain that winning feeling after he was surprisingly run down last Friday.
It was his kennelmate Allegro Gun who inflicted that defeat on Subic Bay and this promising up and coming youngster can serve up a repeat dose in the race-nine 305m C5 dash here.
