Victoria's top pacer Smoken Up is looking good for tomorrow night's first heat of the Inter Dominion at Auckland's Alexandra Park.

He drew barrier six, while nominal favourite Mr Feelgood drew 11, and more good news for trainer/driver Lance Justin  when New Zealand hopeful Auckland Reactor was pulled from the series after failing to recover in time.

Justice said he felt for the horse and trainer, losing their big chance on the eve of the biggest harness racing event in Australasia, but was understandably more optimistic of his own chances with Smoken Up.
