Winter has arrived and the carnival is looming.

The Albion Park Harness Racing Club will play host to a tidy ten race program this Saturday night.

And there’s plenty of highlights throughout the program including the running of the Listed $25,000 Wondais Mate, named in memory of the great Queensland champion for trainer/driver Daryl Reinke while several Oaks prospects have their final hit-out in the Kevin & Kay Seymour Rising Stars Championship Final ahead of the classics in the coming weeks.

The opening race has attracted an even field of 12 pacers with several in-form runners set to contest the UBET Pace over the 2138m.

Gambling giant UBET are offering several jackpots throughout the program including a guaranteed $50,000 trifecta pool on the opening race plus a $10,000 jackpot.

Quality performers Leos Best and Major Cam will command plenty of focus despite their second-line draws, both pacers are racing in excellent form and both possess strong records at the track.

Others to consider include Bells Beach House, Brigadier Bronski, Munroe, Feel The Courage, The Space Invader and War Dan Apollo.

The $15,540 Kevin & Kay Seymour Rising Stars Championship also looks an extremely open affair following the barrier draw.

Heat winners on Tuesday were Takara Truffle and Timmo Time while others to be considered include Jossie James, Subtle Delight, Eleniark, Zaras Delight, Top Trio and Blingittothemax among others.

The Rising Stars Finals is listed as race 2 on the card.

A Quadrella jackpot of $5000 is also slated; the quaddie will be staged on races 2, 3, 4 & 5.

UBET have also slated $1000 jackpot trifecta pools on races 3 through to 10.

Next week, the 2017 Brisbane winter carnival officially commences with a number of features including the Listed $25,000 Mr Feelgood is the feature, the open class event is likely to attract a high quality field which will be staged over the 2138m.

Other highlights include the Gr.3 $30,000 Ted & Edna Badcock Memorial 4yo Championship, the Gr.3 $30,000 Premiers Cup and the Listed $25,000 Egmont Park Stud Provincial Oaks.

The first of 10 races is scheduled to start at 5.00pm.
