The Dominion Handicap winner has once again drawn barrier 13 in a mobile trot in the North Island, after he finished seventh from the same draw at Cambridge on Christmas Eve.
This time, he finds himself starting from the outside of the back row in the group 1 National Trot at Alexandra Park tomorrow.
''They obviously don't like me up there,'' Cox joked.
''But I don't think it will be too bad - they'll be running into that first corner. For him, going around that way the first time, it will be a bit tricky for him going into that first corner so we'll just settle back and take the short cuts.''
While the draw is not a major concern for Cox, Jaccka Justy's right-handed debut is.
''Racing left-handed he runs out a wee bit, so racing right-handed he'll run in a wee bit,'' he said.
''It can trip a lot of South Island horses up going right-handed for the first time.
''Especially him - you can't really work him that way on the beach. But I bowled him around David's [Butcher] track right-handed and he wasn't too bad, but it's always different come race day.''
Stent overcame a second-line draw to win the flying mile at Cambridge, but his fate could rest in the hands of others after he drew barrier 10, the inside of the second line.
The saving grace could be that Sheemon drew barrier 1, and the decisions by Sheemon's driver, Dexter Dunn, could have a huge say in the outcome of the race.
''It's going to be interesting to see what Dexter does,'' Cox said.
''The best horse is on his back, but he won't want to hand up to something that's going to hand up again. Dexter's been out there enough. I'm sure he'll figure it out.''
Cox was not too disheartened by Jaccka Justy's seventh at Cambridge, and his performance may have helped decide the medium-term plan for the horse.
''He probably didn't handle the track as well as I hoped. It was quite thick and heavy for him. I'm not blaming the track - they set a track record on it. He likes it hard and fast.
''He probably had a wee excuse, but they went 1.54 and he went 1.56 himself.''
Jaccka Justy's lack of comfort with the Cambridge track means he is likely to head back south after tomorrow's race, rather than stay up for a group 3 1700m mobile trot at Cambridge on January 9.
''`I'd say he'll probably come home. There'll be a race at Addington at the end of January for him and then he would probably go for a spell.''
Cox returns to Cambridge today to meet up with Jaccka Justy, who has spent the past fortnight at David Butcher's Cambridge stables.
''David's just been jogging him, but he texted me the other day and said he had come through the run good and eaten up and everything. So that's always a good sign.''
