Elite sprinters will head to Dubbo for the 516m cup series which carries a winner's purse of $40,000 on May 28 - one of five feature race finals on the night.
Three $10,000 to-the-winner finals - the Bill & Peg Miller Cup (516m), Zipping Garth Maiden (400m) and Feral Franky 4th and 5th Grade (400m) - will be decided yet the cupboard is a little bare for top grade sprinters.

The highest graded and most competitive race on Saturday's 11-race card is the Choices Flooring Dubbo Sprint (318m) in which Kylie McDonald's equal track record holder Sprinkle Fusion is drawn to add to her already imposing record at the track.
The daughter of Cosmic Rumble posted her sixth success win at the track on May 1, dominating a Free For All line-up in 18.06 seconds - just .14 or two lengths outside her benchmark.
To add win 14 at start 24 to her resume, Sprinkle Fusion must repel a five-strong attack from Paul and Pam Braddon's big team.
The Cowra-based Braddons have Magical Bear (box one), Charming Meeka (three), Rapid Hill Billy (four) Harper's Fury (five) and Swift Jill (eight) engaged with proven FFA performer Charming Meeka and her lightly raced litter brother Magic Bear the most likely to stretch Sprinkle Fusion.
Magic Bear resumes from a six-week break. He's missed a place only once in 10 starts (six wins) but his box manners cannot match Sprinkle Fusion's near faultless starts.
Charming Meeka returns to Dubbo after a smart win over kennelmate Rapid Hilly Billy at Temora (over 330m) on May 7. All of her racing at Dubbo has been over 318m, prevailing in nine of 20 starts with a personal best of 18.19.
