The 10-race card features a number of greyhounds in the early stages of their careers.
“It’s a program where many trainers and owners should see how their dog is suited to the distance,” Robertson said.
“It’s also a day where winners can be hard to come by.
“It’s a meet where it will be tough that’s for sure.”
Roberston said he could not go past his best bet of the day Lollipop Ollie, which is trained by Elizabeth O’Sullivan.
“The dog has had 14 starts and won eight,” Robertson said.
“The dog is suited well to the 450 metres.
“I cannot see anything catching it.
“It’ll start favourite and there’s a good reason why it should win.
“Dogs in this good a form should be hard to claw back.”
Roberston said many of the fields would become stronger in the lead up to the Maitland Gold Cup which is penciled down for April 17.
“Yes, we are not far away from the Gold Cup and I know alot of connections and owners are preparing their dogs for that exciting night of racing,” Robertson said.
Today’s first race is set to jump at 3.21pm.
The greyhounds will return to Maitland again on Thursday with the first race at 3.57pm.
