The draw for the final of the Springbok has been made with the ante-post selection Hotdog Jack getting the blue jacket of trap 2. It’s a reasonable enough draw for Seamus Cahill's dog and if he traps better than in the semi's his ferocious early pace could see him take a decisive first bend lead.

The race is live on Sky on Tuesday with a good supporting card which includes greyhound of the year Spiridon Louis, hurdler of the year Kildare Lark and Charlie Lister's exciting youngster Ninja Jamie. I'll try and post a preview of the big race tomorrow night, in the meantime here's the draw -

The Ladbrokes sponsored Golden Jacket, an event for stayers over 714 metres at Crayford, gets underway with six first round heats on Monday. The event will be screened live in the betting shops.

I have my doubts about the ante-post favourite Droopys Nelson fully staying this trip but try as I might I can't find anything to back against him so I won't be playing at this stage.
