HRNZ have made significant moves today to confirm several more Australian Harness Jewels invites.
The latest runner to be officially invited is 4yo Armbro Invasion trotting mare Reina Danzante, trained by Nicole Molander.
Owner Pat Driscoll is said to be delighted to have received an invite, and quickly snapped up his chance to come over and compete.
Nicole Molander is very keen to have a jewels starter and is looking forward to the trip with her handy mare.
Reina Danzante becomes the 5th invite, joining Arms Of An Angel, Heza Bromac, My Kiwi Mate and Illawong Byron as the other Australians set to cross the ditch and do battle.
Owners of Eljaykay Phoenix and Princess Phoenix, along with their trainer David Aiken appreciated the interest shown in their two stars, but declined invites today with both set to focus on home features.
HRNZ are not finished and are working on several other options for the remaining invites.
