Its night two of the 2017 Brisbane winter carnival.
And the Albion Park Harness Racing Club will play host to a bumper eleven race program this Saturday night.
Feature events include the Gr.2 $75,000 AQWA Constructions Queensland Oaks, Gr.2 $50,000 Garrards Sunshine Sprint, Gr.3 $30,000 Egmont Park Provincial Derby, $20,000 Burwood Stud Fleur De Lil Ladyship Stakes and the $15,000 Rio Meteor Sulky Trotters Marathon.
But the highlight is the appearance of superstar pacer Lennytheshark in the Sunshine Sprint, the open class feature being staged over the distance of 1660m.
The David Aiken trained Inter Dominion and Miracle Mile winner makes his first start in the Sunshine State and will start a warm favourite after landing the coveted inside draw.
Stablemate and defending Sunshine Sprint champion Hectorjayjay looms as the toughest to beat and will start from gate six.
The all-conquering All Stars stable of Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen are chasing another perfect night following their sweep last week which netted them the Provincial Oaks and Premiers Cup.
Again, Partyon and The More The Better will represent the stable.
Partyon is the favourite in the Queensland Oaks while The More The Better is at short odds again in the Provincial Derby despite drawing the second-line.
Gambling giant UBET are offering several jackpots throughout the program including a guaranteed $100,000 trifecta pool on the opening race plus a $25,000 jackpot.
Former New Zealand pacer Watch Pulp Fiction is facing a massive class drop in the opening event after chasing the open class stars over the past three weeks.
Prepared by Chantal Turpin, record breaking New Zealand reinsman Dexter Dunn will reunite with the pacer he enjoyed good success before his purchase.
But the task won’t be easy after landing gate twelve.
Others to consider including are Exceptional Mach, A Good Chance, Written In Red, Floyd Mayweather, Cold Ideal and Bettabe Perfect.
The $15,540 Kevin & Kay Seymour Rising Stars Championship also looks an extremely open affair following the barrier draw.
Heat winners on Tuesday were Top Trio and Franco Salisbury while others to be considered include Drive The Dream, The Bettormack, Pantheon, The Charging Moa and Constantlysideways.
The Rising Stars Finals is listed as race 2 on the card.
A Quadrella jackpot pool of $5,000 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 11.
