POWER And Glory and Good Odds Cobber have been installed $3 equal favourites for next Thursday night's Group 1 Ladbrokes Dapto Megastar (520m).
Five qualifiers of the $75,000-to-the-winner series were staged on Thursday night where powerhouse sprinter Power And Glory set the track alight with a blistering 29.49 heat romp.
The son of Hooked On Scotch made it nine wins from 14 starts with the slashing display for trainer Ken Burnett, racing his way into his first group 1 final.
Also mightily impressive was grand performer Good Odds Cobber which got the better of Hurricane Reign late in proceedings in his heat to score in 29.76.
The son of Fernando Bale has drawn box eight for the final where he'll look to deliver Frank and Tracey Hurst a second Dapto Megastar following Good Odds Harada's 2019 heroics.
Drawn box one for the rich decider is the Minnie Finn-trained Gets Late Early which used the same box to win her heat over Still Available in 29.89.
A daughter of 2020 Dapto Megastar winner Flying Ricciardo, Gets Late Early has been installed a $3.50 third favourite for the finale with the aid of her box one draw.
Rounding out the chances under double figure odds is National Derby hero History's Coming which staved off a fast finishing Might Have Been in his heat to score in 29.97.
Returning to 500 metre racing for the first time in two months, History's Coming is sure to strip fitter for the final and has drawn favourably in box two while his litter-sister Hurricane Reign, a gallant heat runner-up, will exit box six.
Rounding out the heat winners was the Craig Chappelow-trained Overflow Jill in 29.90.
Overflow Jill has drawn box seven for the decider with bookmakers installing her at $15 in early markets.
