Crown Champ and Farloe Blitz, the two market leaders clash in the round two of the Greyhound & Pet World / Odds On Supersprint over 330 yards at Cork on Saturday.
Leading sprinter Crown Champ, the Islandbridge Sprint winner at Harolds Cross last year and Irish Sprint Cup finalist, clocked a fastest of the session 17.47sec.
Owen McKenna’s Farloe Blitz came to prominence in the Puppy Derby at Harolds Cross, where he was the hot favourite before getting beaten by Quietly in the final.
Crown Champ is given the vote to overcome a tricky draw in six.
Burgess Four, who scored in the heats in 17.54sec, can justify short odds in the third qualifier, while Madra Deas is the selection in the second heat.
Three winners clash in the fourth heat with Burnt Le Bec, Boozed Tony and Lemon Miley taking part.
Kieran Lynch’s Burnt Le Bec, who won his heat in 17.71, can make the most of his draw in trap one.
