Buffering draws gate seven in Group 1 BTC Cup; Sydney raiders drawn inside him Buffering should have every chance in the BTC Cup. SYDNEY raiders Rain Affair and Sea Siren have fared slightly better than Buffering at today's barrier draw for Saturday's Group 1 BTC Cup at Eagle Farm, but the local hero should still get every chance. Rain Affair came up with barrier two and is certain to find the fence quickly, while defending champion Sea Siren drew barrier three and gets the chance to slot in right behind the speed. Get-back runner Reflectance drew the inside barrier. Buffering will start from gate seven, but should have no troubles cruising over to sit outside Rain Affair soon after the jump to set up an intriguing battle with the favoured trio. The big query runner in the field is the Anthony Cummings-trained Your Song (barrier 5), who has not raced since last October. The Fastnet Rock colt boasts a second to superstar Pierro last September, where he finished in front of both Epaulette and recently retired star All Too Hard, a four times Group 1 winner. A total of 11 runners accepted for the $400,000 feature. Exciting three-year-old Better Than Ready will get back from barrier eight, as will the Tony Gollan-trained duo Spirit Of Boom (11) and Temple Of Boom (9). The other runners are Rarefied (6) for Peter Snowden, Jetset Lad (10) and Emmalene (4). Buffering is the $2.80 favourite after being a race eve scratching last year.
