Barrier draws have been confirmed for the $800,000 Go Media New Zealand Trotting Cup at Addington on Tuesday, November 10. Defending champion Kingman drew barrier four on the front line for trainer and driver Luke McCarthy. Rival Australian contenders Swayzee and Leap To Fame secured barriers six and eight, respectively, in the Group 1 standing start race over 3,200 meters.

Local contender Minos drew the pole position, while last year's third-place finisher Merlin starts from barrier 16 on the second line. Kingman enters the race following a fourth-place finish in the Victoria Cup, while Grant Dixon-trained Leap To Fame arrives in strong form after winning three straight starts at Albion Park.
