THE great Leap To Fame heads the first rankings for the Ladbrokes Brisbane Inter Dominion pacing series as he chases a third win in the iconic event.

Underlining the great rivalry between siblings, Leap To Fame's older half-brother Swayzee is ranked second.

Former Inter Dominion winner Don Hugo, who also boasts a Miracle Mile, TAB Eureka and Blacks A Fake on his CV, comes in third ahead of veteran WA superstar Minstrel.

Buzz Kiwi pacer The Lazarus Effect, who ran second to Got The Chocolates in last night's epic Messenger (where Swayzee was third) is well respected in rankings at number six.

Other big guns include The Janitor (eight), Captains Knock (nine), last year's runner-up Speak The Truth (10) and reigning TAB Eureka champion Bay Of Biscay (13).

In the trotting series, defending champion Arcee Phoenix heads the rankings.

Trainer-driver Chris Svanosio said the star was progressing well after a spell and right on target.

The brilliant local Gus is ranked two from 2024 Inter Dominion winner The Locomotive (three) and superstar Victorian mare Jilliby Ballerini (four).

Last start Group 1 Macarthur Mile winner Rockinwithattitude comes in at five.

While brilliant comeback mare Susan Is Her Name, who is on the verge of a return to the races, is ranked nine.

She hasn't raced since becoming the only trotter to beat Keayang Zahara in last year's Macarthur Mile.

The second of six sets of rankings is slated for May 20.

Final rankings will be released on June 24 with the first round of heats at Albion Park on July 4.
