The series returns to its three rounds of three heats with opening night 2130m dashes at Gloucester Park, one of the few small tracks left in metropolitan harness racing. Hence the problem for those New Zealand punters who stay up late enough to catch the action which will run into tomorrow morning. Closer to home both Alexandra Park and Addington race tonight, with the latter having two high-class three-year-old races. Friday fancies• Best bet: Donegal Bettorgretch (Addington, R10): Huge runs over Cup week and well placed tonight. • Coffee on: The Inter Dominions start in Perth tonight but the action runs way past midnight.
