It's one of the best Brisbane Cup fields that's ever been assembled, with some of the nation's top greyhounds all in Queensland to battle it out for Group 1 honours.

The state's premier trainer in Tony Brett doesn't have a chaser in the final, however his good friend Jason Thompson has sent his two stars - Hooked On Scotch and Black Opium - north to be in Tony's care.

Tony gives us an insight into his time as a greyhound trainer, what drives him to succeed, and a comprehensive rundown of Thursday's final - including how Hooked On Scotch and Black Opium's are shaping up for the much anticipated race.
