Zagar will line up in heat 2 alongside Bjarne Pedersen, Mikael Max and Lukas Dryml. The first two riders go through to the next set of heats, with the third and fourth placed riders going into an eliminator.
Riders then progress through the meeting with the top eight riders from the previous Grand Prix in Sweden entering the event at heat 13.
Jason Crump currently leads the series with 114 points, with Leigh Adams and Greg Hancock next both on 91. Five-times World Champion Tony Rickardsson is fourth on 87, and reigning champion Nicki Pedersen lies fifth on 76.
Saturday's meeting is the seventh in a series of nine Grand Prix's which will decide the World Championship.
Zagar is eagerly awaiting the meeting, he said, "I had a taste of the Grand Prix last season, but I'm looking to do much better this time. I understand that there are a lot of supporters going over from Reading, so I'm looking for a good result to give them something to cheer, and also for
my own self pride."
