Don’t expect repeats of Tuesday’s staggering Cup Day group 1 performances at Addington tomorrow.
Because while the winners of the three group 1s on Tuesday all came from the second line to record astonishing winning performances, most of the big names who could draw well have for tomorrow’s Show Day meeting - the second leg of Addington big Cup week double header.
The obvious exception is hot favourite Muscle Mountain in the $300,000 Renwick Farms Dominion as he had to draw wide on the second line because he starts from the unruly.
But two of the other favourites for the 3200m trot have drawn handy, with northerner Bolt To Brilliance to start from barrier 4 if the emergency Tu Tangata doesn’t get a start while Smokin Bandar could move into the tricky barrier 1.
That would see Oscar Bonavena starting behind him from 1 on the second line, a less than ideal proposition.
