This evening's $11,000 NZ Racing Series Advanced final has a real forgone conclusion attached to it.

The 520m post race podium will see greyhounds from the high flying Lisa Cole kennels attending it.

Cole cannot miss as amazingly all ten listed greyhounds for this New Zealand bred feature event are provided from her kennels.

All bar one of them was bred by her and her husband Brendon Cole and that one greyhound is the only one that can prevent the 'Bigtime' breeding, training and racing operation from making a clean sweep of the total $11,000 on offer.

NZ Racing Series finals are designed to reward the breeders of the placed greyhounds.

Therefore fifty percent of the prize money on offer ($5,500 in this event) is paid to the official breeders of those placed runners.

Spare Some Time is the only greyhound in this evening's Race 9 field that wasn't bred by the Coles.

He is a rather handy chaser as was seen by his recent victory in The Rock 95.2FM NZ Futurity final at Group 1 level.

Obviously, Spare Some Time holds sound claims of being required back at the podium following the event.

He endured a luckless outing in last Friday's open class 520m event after jumping from trap eight.

Starting from trap three here can see him pushing forward early onto the early pace.

The litter brothers Allegro Gun and Spring Allegro both own sufficient early pace to take up the early pace.

Allegro Gun appeals as the greyhound who is more likely to lead throughout, if he secures the early race led.

Last Friday, Bigtime Jason defied his open class 520m rivals to run him down - which they couldn't. He held them all out when delivering his freewheeling 30.06s win.

He must adopt those same tactics this evening.

Bigtime Bell is without doubt the strongest greyhound in the field. She is renowned for her strong finishing efforts.

Bell can out-finish her opponents and that can turn into a distinct reality if she settles handy to the early pace.

The leading stakes earning prospect from the other kennel runners is Absinthe Minded.

He owns vast experience racing at the top level and drawing on that race experience can see him featuring at the business end of this event.
