A fast start helped veteran Corleone King continue his hot streak in the opening heat last Friday.
After winning four of his last five starts, with his other effort a third, the Garry Kimber-trained dog booked his place in the final with an all-the-way effort.
Holding off a late charge from Cawbourne Madox to win by just over a length, he clocked 30.23 seconds.
Corleone King is no spring chicken, with his heat success his 26th win from 87 starts, but after good performances last year the kennel decided to keep on persisting.
It's certainly paying off.
"He's a very good dog, he's getting a little bit old but after the Million Dollar Chase heats we thought why not bring him back," handler Lloyd Kimber said.
"We're finally finding a working pattern with him as even though he's getting a little bit old he still loves coming out and racing."
Corleone King has come up with box six for the Ladbrokes Graeme Hull Memorial Wagga Gold Cup (525m) that sees $10,000 to go the winner.
Gunning trainer Jodie Lord has three qualified with two of them securing favourable draws from box one and two.
John Hartley-trained Tennessee Tiger is the only Wagga greyhound in the final.
The first race gets underway at 6.42pm on Friday, with the Cup at 9pm.
