Fillies to win Great Northern Oaks, New Zealand Sires' Stakes Final for fillies and the New Zealand Oaks are Armalight (1980), Tigerish (1992), Under Cover Lover (1994) and Lauraella (2009).
Secret Potion came off a second line draw to win the Great Northern Oaks on March 5 in a 2.00 rate for the 2700m (mobile).
She started from barrier six when she won the Sires' Stakes Final (1950m) at Addington last Saturday in a 1.57.5 rate for the 1950 (mobile). She has drawn the second line tonight over 2600m (mobile).
Pull down blinds have been removed from The Muskeg Express for the $200,000 Sires' Stakes Final for 2yr-olds tonight.
"We just don't want him to have any distractions," Tim Butt his trainer, said.
The Muskeg Express tangled at the 200m in the $300,000 Sales Series Pace last Saturday when shading Thumpem for the lead.
He dropped out to eighth. His driver Anthony Butt said The Muskeg Express had lost concentration.
"He is in very good order and this is the first time he has drawn well," Butt added.
The Muskeg Express won first up at Addington in March. Thumpem is again among his rivals.
• Vi Et Animo, who won at Alexandra Park last night, was transferred this week to Hamilton trainer Todd Mitchell from Gil Shirley, of Invercargill. Vi Et Animo has been in the care of Mitchell for the past month.
