Outside of the New Zealand Cup Kiwi Harness Racing doesn’t get any bigger than Jewels Day and it goes to the next level this year, transferred from Ashburton and Cambridge to the best racetrack in the Southern Hemisphere at Addington.

Generally speaking on these racedays Mark Purdon simply runs roughshod but much of our plan will require Robert Dunn to have a massive day as well.

On a personal level I am thrilled to be involved in the SKY coverage today and the only way the experience will improve is if this Game Plan happens to yield a result.

Best Bet

Race 8, No. 4 Sundees Son $30 Win ($2.25)

For some reason this fellow is still not quite as highly respected as he should be but the fact remains he swept the Anzac/Rowe Cup double and he has something on these for strength, intimidation and ability.

Best Value

Race 3, No. 1 Spellbound $30 Each Way ($9)

Tiffany Rose has been the third best filly through most of the major races for this division and not that far behind Sweet On Me and Amazing Dream. That’s why it must peak our attention that John Dunn – who also co-trains Tiffany Rose – has chosen to steer this gifted filly. She was not at her best last start but if Tiffany Rose leads and keeps the front as in the Caduceus Club Fillies Final in Auckland then Spellbound can get the perfect trip and cause a genuine upset.

Race 5, No. 1 Lotamuscle $15 Each Way ($7.50)

If you’re in the mood to take on the often-poorly-mannered Enhance Your Calm then look no further than this fellow who appears perfectly suited by the polemarking draw with his exceptional closing turn of speed.

Best Roughie

Race 4, No. 11 Above N Beyond $5 Win & $15 Place ($34)

This bloke has gone great guns in several key lead-up races and was probably just over-driven in the Sires Stakes Final last time out.

Money Races

Race 6 - $60 Flexi Trifectas

Fortune favours the brave so we’re going all out on the concept that Kayla Marie will definitely finish third behind Australasia’s two best fillies Princess Tiffany and Belle Of Montana. While I am quite besotted with Belle Of Montana I just think she’ll be forced to trail behind Princess Of Tiffany sooner rather than later and with the speed coming out of the race after that I just think the Princess will be slightly better suited.

5/ 1/ 11 - $40 gets 4000%

1/ 5/ 11 - $20 gets 2000%

Race 7 - $90 Trifectas

Turn It Up looks a moral in the 4YO Emerald and on ability Ashley Locaz is a clear second pick. With the draw being against Ashley Locaz however a few others may vie for second place including the perfectly drawn Henry Hubert.
