The last 600m might seem rather familiar for Jonny Cox and Jaccka Justy in the group 2 trotters' flying mile at Cambridge this afternoon.
The way the draws have fallen in the 13-horse mile, a repeat of the Dominion could be on the cards.
Jaccka Justy's win in the group 1 classic last month was built on a great drive from Cox, latching on to the back of Stent.
And with both horses being landed with second-line draws for tonight's feature, the same could happen again.
Sheemon (10), Stent (11) and Jaccka Justy (13) are the most credentialed runners in the race, but the back-row draws mean the three-wide ''train'' could be moving when the field gets the bell with a lap to go.
''You see 13 and you're not overly happy but Stent, Sheemon and Kincaslough - they're all drawn on the back row as well, so hopefully we can jump on the three-wide train, get a drag round and be in the right spot turning for home,'' Cox said from Cambridge yesterday.
''Hopefully we're following the right horse and get a crack at them.''
Jaccka Justy went north last week, where he is stabled at David Butcher's property in Cambridge.
''He settled in pretty good - he's eaten everything up and he's a box of birds,'' Cox said.
''He's done a fair bit of travelling over the last couple of years - he's always settled in at Mark's [Jones] pretty good. It's always a bit different when you've got to go a wee bit further, but he's a cruisy horse now.''
Cox arrived in Cambridge on Saturday in time to drive the son of Continentalman at the workouts on Saturday, where he rolled home after starting off 50m to win over three rivals in 3.30.0 for the 2700m.
''I sort of followed them round and sprinted the last 300m,'' he said.
''But he definitely needed it. He hadn't done a lot since he had come up.
''I worked him this morning and gave him another blowout before tomorrow, so I couldn't be happier with him, really.''
The early pace off the front line could come from Waimate trotter Valmagne, who has continued his great South Island form in the North Island, while Paramount Queen and the local Charlemagne could also be front-line threats.
''Everyone in front will be getting handy then handing up to the good ones. They'll all be able to run a time so it's a matter of where we possie up getting into the back [straight],'' Cox said.
Jaccka Justy's sustained sprint is often at its best at larger tracks, but Cox has no qualms about his trotter's ability to make the most of the 1000m Cambridge track.
''I don't think it'll worry him too much - Cambridge is well banked. It's not the easiest track to make ground on but if he gets the right drag into it and not too far back, he will finish off like he can do.''
The flying mile is the third leg of a monster $250,000 Pick6 at Cambridge tonight, which starts on race 7 at 3.51pm. Anchors might be hard to find in some legs, although Dalton Bromac is close to an anchor in leg 5 based on his outstanding form line, even though he is against smart rivals such as Venus Serena tonight.
