The much debated Shootout headlines a magnificent card of racing at Sandown Park this Friday night.

It'll see Big Energy, Vincent Bale, Hector Fawley and Blue Kermaro do battle in the four-dog-spectacular. Not forgetting the last round of Sportsbet Melbourne Cup Preludes which are top notch to say the least.

Sportsbet has opened Big Energy as the favourite ahead of Hector Fawley with Vincent Bale and Blue Kermaro considered the outsiders.

And as expected, just like a Topgun, not everyone is in sync with their opinions on the make-up of the field and conditions of the event. Which is great discussion about one of the sport's most exciting events.

George Farrugia and Jason Adams delved into the history of the Shootout and put forward their opinions on it all on today's edition of RSN's Grey Areas. Including who they thought should be in and out of the race.

All in all, it remains a very strong field met with great anticipation.

Join Dave Carlson, Jason Adams and Nathan Rooney on Sky Racing this Friday night, with extended uninterrupted coverage on Sky Racing Active and the Watchdog App.
