Anthony Lord's She's A Pearl will be in action in the feature race on Saturday across 516m and comes into the race with a stellar career record.
Winning 35 races from 56 starts, She's A Pearl has amassed more than $1.6 million in prize money and is showing no signs of slowing down.
Having drawn box three, Dubbo Greyhounds president Shayne Stiff still thinks she'll be hard to beat.
"We've got a really good field, it's headlined by She's A Pearl," he said.
"She's won something like $1.6 million in prize money, she'll be looking to add another $50,000 to that this weekend.
"The money in greyhounds at the moment is unbelievable, there are a couple of $1 million dollar races around now so I don't think it will be too long until we see a dog win more than $2 million.
"There are certainly a few local dogs who look good too."
As for the local hopefuls, Orange's Jay Opetaia will have Street Of Dreams starting out of box two.
Raymond (Jack) Smith will bring across Royal Nangar and Red Hot Frankie from Forbes to contest the feature as well.
After holding a meeting already this week on Tuesday, Stiff admitted Saturday's races will have a lot of money on offer.
"On Saturday, there is the Brother Fox Final as well as the Bill and Peg Miller Final," he said.
"Plus another couple of races, across four races there is around $100,000 on offer without the place getters.
"There is going to be some real good racing, all roads led to Dubbo on Saturday night."
The Brother Fox Final is set to jump at 7:12pm.
