Sydney Cup Final Runner-By-Runner Guide

1. Power Squeeze @ $4.20

Bet Now

He looked good when powering home to finish second last start, and if he can settle closer to the speed, he’s a winning chance.

His odds have drifted after opening at $3.80, but we’re not concerned, and he can’t be left out of Sydney Cup Final picks.

2. Sin City Bandit @ $8.50

Bet Now

She showed good early speed when running third behind Magpie Hector last start, which could be the case again.

However, we don’t think she’s good enough to hold them out late, and there will be many greyhounds coming after her late. She’s drifting in betting markets, so we’re choosing to leave her out of our picks this time around.

3. Mepunga Donna (Best Roughie) @ $13.00

Bet Now

There aren’t too many roughie chances worth backing in this race, but Mepunga Donna should run well.

She has been all around the mark this season, and she lost no admirers when running third behind Beautiful Child last start.

She could stick on gamely and boost payouts with a top four spot.

4. Stilton Shine @ $23.00

Bet Now

She finished 11.5 lengths behind Magpie Hector last time out, and we can’t derive any positves from that effort.

The $23 odds are warranted, and having speed either side of her isn’t ideal.

5. Midnight Queen @ $41.00

Bet Now

The Queenslander was no match for Beautiful Child last start, and we can’t see her finding enough improvement to handle this field.

She’ll get squeezed up early and likely settle out the back.

6. Beautiful Child (Best Each Way) @ $4.20

Bet Now

She is unbeaten in two runs at the track and distance, and we loved her semifinal win, which came by 1.5 lengths when leading throughout.

She’s the speed dog in the field, and if she gets a clean jump, they’ll do well to run her down. That’s why she’s our best each-way, as the $4.20 odds are generous.

We have her running first or second, so include her in Sydney Cup Final predictions.

7. Magpie Hector (Best Bet) @ $2.90

Bet Now

The best staying greyhound in the race, and that was evident when scoring a quality win over Ayden’s Warrior last start.

He jumped well before putting them away down the back straight, and as a 21-time winner from 47 starts, he must be respected.

He’ll give Beautiful Child a few lengths early, but he will be storming over the top of them late.

8. Ayden's Warrior @ $5.00

Bet Now

The four-year-old doesn’t know how to run a bad race, and he was game in defeat behind Magpie Hector last start.

There is a lot to like about that performance, and he’s another seasoned customer worth including in trifecta and first-four picks.

9. Zipping Mooney @ $31.00

Bet Now

Her last two starts have been only fair, and she would need to improve to beat this field.

10. Without a Trace @ $6.50

Bet Now

A solid winning hope, but her recent form hasn’t been inspiring, and we can’t see two dogs coming out of this race.
