McDiesel, which is Eslick’s first ever greyhound, rocketed out of the boxes before holding on to score in 17.11 seconds in last week.
It sealed the $1000 pup’s spot in the $8000-to-the-winner final. McDiesel will jump from box one and Eslick hopes he can utilise the inside alley with an early burst.
"He doesn't always come out like a rocket as he did in his heat but obviously I'm hoping he can do the same in the final,'' Eslick told thedogs.com.au.
The final jumps at 8.22pm.
