Trained by Dilston-based Pat Ryan for owner-breeders Gary and Greg Fahey, the black sprinter took out last year's title from box 8.
The daughter of My Bro Fabio and Dennes Point showed she is ready for a crack at the series with a brilliant front-running performance from box 1 over the 278-metres at Mowbray last week, recording a red-hot best of the night 16.19 seconds.
Just Browsing has won 19 races from her 37 career outings.
But Greg Fahey said it hadn't always been a smooth ride.
"She has copped a fair share of injuries and going through a seasonal hasn't helped," Fahey said.
"It has been down to confidence and last week's win was a positive step forward.
"Just Browsing has a great record over the 515m trip and having box 1 will boost her chances - box 1 is absolutely gold in any race.
"If she can reproduce her speed to lead by the first turn it will give her every chance, knowing how strong she is at the finish."
Just Browsing is second elect at $4.20 in the Greyhound Recorder's predicted market with Nitro Grace the $3.20 favourite jumping from box 7 for in-form Loria trainer Paul Hili.
In the second heat, Tasmanian Sprint Championship winner Hello Rhonda will be having her first start since her gallant fifth placing in the group 1 national final in Western Australia.
The Robin Grubb-trained bitch has drawn box 2 and is the predicted $2.40 favourite.
