The barrier draw ceremony for the Sun Met was held yesterday and the big three, Do It Again, Oh Susanna and Rainbow Bridge, would all have been happy with their positions.

Rainbow Bridge is the type who needs cover as he can over race so the connections would have been thrilled with his draw of two.

Oh Susanna will want a fast pace or otherwise she will have to go to the front herself and draw five gives her a couple of options.

Do It Again relaxes well and can come from off the pace if necessary so his draw of seven also gives him options.

Legal Eagle shouldn’t be written off as he ran a flat race in the L’Ormarin’s Queen’s Plate and he did not have good luck in running in the Met last year when finishing fourth. He has finished second twice in this race before but does now have to overcome a tough draw of eleven.

July runner up Made To Conquer drew well in four.

The likely pacemaker Milton drew six.
