Warrnambool-trained hopeful Crimson Vixen, a Bendigo Cup winner, was involved in a scrimmage in the first heat of the day and failed to secure a place.
Seven-time group finalist Snags McKenzie also encountered trouble in the sixth heat of the day and could only finish second to Security Code.
Dual group one-winning greyhound Simon Told Helen, who has clocked almost half-a-million dollars in prizemoney, was also overrun by rising star Zambora Smokey in heat five.
Simon Told Helen, however, made the final as one of the two fastest place-getters. The final is set for next Wednesday night.
