Beaudiene Bad Babe, easy winner of the Country Cups Final at Ascot Park on Saturday, has a $20,000 free-for-all at Addington on Saturday week as a final lead-up to the Harness Jewels at Cambridge on June 5.
Her trainer, Murray Brown, also won on Saturday with Pacific Soul, a newcomer to his stable.
Franco Jamar, winner of the $50,000 Southern Supremacy Stakes final, will have his next start in the Harness Jewels.
He has also been entered for the Breeders' Crown in Victoria in August.
He gave Loburn trainer Steve Dolan his biggest win.
Dolan's wife, Leeann, shares the ownership of Franco Jamar with Sheldon Murtha, Grant Adamson, Paul Yesberg, all of Christchurch and Neville Peard, (Dolan's father), of Brisbane.
Adamson won the 2yr-old trotters section of the Jewels from Jinga Gal at Ashburton last year.
Franco Jamar winner of seven of his 10 starts and $104,000 this season, overcame a second-line draw on Saturday.
He was a $20,000 purchase by Murtha, Dolan and Tim Sissons at the premier yearling sale.
They offered the Courage Under Fire colt as a 2yr-old at the Ready To Run sale. He had a $80,000 reserve and bidding reached $40,000.
The ownership was then rejigged when Sissons went to New York.
• Colin De Filippi will be offered the drive on Royal Cee Cee in her remaining major assignments this season.
Trainer Michael House has driven Royal Cee Cee in her four wins, including the $50,000 final of the Southland Oaks on Saturday.
"The arrangement with the owner was that I would drive her until today," House said. "Colin is a good friend and he has driven for me before."
House rated Royal Cee Cee superbly in front on Saturday and she won easily by three lengths.
He has also driven her to win a Sires' Stakes heat at Forbury Park.
Royal Cee Cee has the final of the Sires' Stakes series at Addington, New Zealand Oaks and Harness Jewels on her agenda in the next month. She may then head to Australia.
She is raced by her Pendarves breeder Paul Brand, who had a third in the 1998 Southland Oaks with Luvulindylu.
She won three races, including a Sires' Stakes heat when trained by House before she died of an adverse reaction to penicillin.
Royal Cee Cee is the first foal of Royal Van, an unraced sister to Luvulindylu (Soky's Atom-Van Royal).
Royal Van is 17 hands and Royal Cee Cee (by Christian Cullen) is 14 hands.
"I really had nothing to do with the horses until my father died in 2000," Brand said.
• Sunnivue Ted, the 4yr-old trotter trained by Steven Ashton, of Portobello, is also headed to the Harness Jewels.
He took his stake earnings for the season to $33,033 when he won on Saturday.
He has recorded five wins and 10 placings in 20 starts.
Ashton, who races Sunnivue Ted with Miles Notman, of Dunedin, is planning to leave on May 19 and stop over in Christchurch, Blenheim and Palmerston North before arriving at Cambridge.
He will take either Sunnivue Caesar and Sunnivue Impulse as a travelling companion.
