There’s plenty of anticipation ahead of Wednesday’s announcement of the $72,500 Group 3 Shootout field.

A four-dog battle of speed over 515 metres, The Shootout is the main event at Sandown Park on Saturday – Night Two of the $4.1m Dream Chasers Festival.

Let’s all walk 10 paces and draw a huge breath!

This is going to be bigger than the Gunfight at the OK Corral.

Who will come out with ‘all guns blazing’?

But the $50,000 question is: who will be the ‘gunslingers’?

Well, the ‘saloon doors’ open on Wednesday when the four-dog field is announced!

However, the ‘guns for hire’ aren’t the whole attraction…
