After four massive qualifying rounds, it all comes down to this. The Daily Punt Spring All-Stars Grand Final is here, and two teams remain standing.

Who takes the crown?
It's two very different approaches to the Grand Final.
The King Zone is playing a calculated game, spreading its $15,100 across 13 selections with several strong fancies, boosted tote bets and a few roughies capable of delivering a massive result.
MacBet is taking a more aggressive approach, with big fixed-price plays, a couple of outsiders and two multis that could blow the competition wide open.
Interestingly, both teams have landed on Twisted Queen in Eagle Farm Race 5, backing the same runner at $4.80.
From the opening bets at Eagle Farm through to the final leg of MacBet's multis, there's plenty riding on every result.
