Fink Racer is from a litter of mad railers and the draw gives him a nice advantage over kennel-mate Woosha who has to jump from box 5.
Both were easy semi-final winners, Fink Racer going 30.07 from box 4 and Woosha 30.31 from box 2.
Fink Racer has improved going through the series and could be Martin’s best chance to win a Breeders Classic.
The fastest semi winner was the Ted Medhurst-trained Black Fesco (29.60) but he drew box 1 in that race and has to overcome box 6 in the final.
Medhurst’s other finalist Fesco Boy has drawn box 4.
The final of the Reg & Aileen Ivory Memorial is the feature race in Devonport on Tuesday.
The heat winners were the Medhurst-trained High Treason (25.34) and Anthony Dawson’s Stylish Nic (25.45).
High Treason’s past three visits to Devonport have produced wins and Stylish Nic was placed in this year’s Devonport Cup.
