Group 1 Galaxy – runner by runner stats and best bookie odds

SEEKING Justice is all the rage to take out this Saturday's at Cannington after a stunning debut over the track and trip last weekend.

Lining up for his first start for WA mentor Keith Harding, the son of Kinloch Brae and Shanlyn Supreme was ultra impressive from box five, working his way to the front and charging clear to score by five and one quarter lengths in a fast 42.41.

A winner of 20 of his 47 starts, the brindle chaser is in the right hands to make an impact in the feature, with Harding having trained two previous winners of the Galaxy – the 2008 edition with Elektra and the inaugural running with greyhound Afro Freeway in 1982.

Bookies think the 32 kilogram greyhound is the one to beat, with Sportsbet currently offering $1.90 about him off box one.

Lioness Lulu is the sentimental favourite for the final, with her young gun trainer Mark Giddings recently losing his father, prominent conditioner Brian Davis. The fawn bitch also happens to be the form runner of the series, having won four of her past five starts including the Group 1 at Wentworth Park last month.

Bookies are keeping her safe at $3.20 to take out the final, with a win set to take her career earnings to over $200,000.

Ryno's Raider is the only other contender under double figure odds at $9 following his second placing behind Lioness Lulu in last week's heat. The son of Collision and Other's Quoted finished eight and one quarter lengths off the winner, which clocked 42.66, and has drawn box six in the decider.

Dyna Nilhilist fought out a tough victory to qualify for the final, recording his 17th career victory in 42.71 for trainer Enzo Crudelli. He will jump from box four in the decider and will be after his third straight win in the $80,000 to the winner showpiece.

The fourth heat winner last week was Jamie Marsh's Hodor which is given a rough shot of taking home the prize at $13 with .

The red brindle dog is sure to improve after his first go over the Cannington 720m trip, with the same able to be said for Alka Casey (box three) which finished second behind Seeking Justice after finding trouble throughout her heat. The former NSW stayer, now trained in WA by Sean Kavanagh, is a $15 shot.

Zipping Bella looks to be a promising stayer in the west, with four wins from six starts since stepping up beyond the sprint journey. The regally bred daughter of Dyna Tron and Cho Chang will face her acid test in the final off box eight, but is more than capable of sneaking into the placings at $17 for the win and $4 for the place.

The field is rounded out by Lofty Ambition for trainer John Edwards at $21, with the daughter of Collision and former top liner Hot Irish awkwardly drawn in box five.

The Group 1 Galaxy is race five at Cannington on Saturday night and is set to jump at 10:32pm AEST.
