Australian visitor Don Hugo and Oscar Bonavena appear to be the two winners out of today’s draw for Friday’s two big Slot races at Cambridge’s Night of Champions.
Recent Miracle Mile winner Don Hugo has drawn ideally at two for the $1m The Race by betcha with key rivals Leap To Fame getting eight and big Kiwi hope and defending champion Merlin at seven. Both will come in one place if first emergency Mo’unga does not take his place in the field.
Multiple Group 1 winner Republican Party is another to have been gifted a good alley. He will start at three, one outside Don Hugo.
As the only mare in the race Duchess Megxit has drawn one, with Chase A Dream (9) behind her on the second row.
In the $600,000 TAB Trot Oscar Bonavena has drawn perfectly at three after his impressive win in Friday’s Waikato Flying Mile at Cambridge.
Of his biggest threats Australian star The Locomotive has drawn six, one inside Muscle Mountain. Rising star Bet N Win has drawn one the second line and will follow out Im Ready Jet.
