Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for tonight's nine-race card at Bendigo.

R1 – 6.19pm – Captain Crunch @ Alabar Bloodstock Mares Pace – 2150m

4 - Ifyoulovemeletmego         

3 - Markleigh Caz

8 - Dot Ball

5 – Littleblabbamouth

R2 – 6.46pm – Elmore Cup Hosted At Bendigo Dec 18th Pace – 1650m

9 - Montana Pride

10 - Ozzie Joybell

6 - Salsboy

11 - Chogi

Montana Pride improved significantly last start on his sectional times. He’s a horse that tries hard and is always in the finish. He has a good barrier here to have options and this looks like a great race for him.

BACK: 9 Montana Pride – 2 units (win)

R3 – 7.12pm – Nutrien Ag Solutions Mares Pace – 1650m

9 - Alfnalma

7 - Maywyns Jewel

6 - Gerrale

2 - Paris Princess

Alfnalma was great winning last start under very similar conditions. Again, over the short trip and from barrier nine, there is little reason why she couldn’t go back-to-back.

BACK: Alfnalma – 2 units (win)

R4 – 7.43pm – Group 1 Aldebaran Park Maori Mile Jan 4th Mares Trot – 2150m

3 - Romantic Nina

4 - Velvetnlace

2 - Christmas Babe

9 - Keayang Brandy

When Romantic Nina puts it all together, she is a talented mare. Her own personal best times recently are better than the rest of this field. She doesn’t have great gate speed or safe manners. But if she gets into a good position early, she will be the one to beat.

BACK: 3 Romantic Nina – 2 units (win)

R5 – 8.13pm – Poster Boy @ Llowalong Farm 2yo Maiden Pace – 1650m

8 - Reach The Peak

6 – I Am On Therun

1 - Fourth Response

4 – Hooklineandsinker

R6 – 8.43pm – Garrards Horse & Hound Pacing Cup Jan 4th 2yo Maiden Pace – 1650m

3 - Archie Moth

8 - Calivil

1 - Flip A Coin

6 - Shes Magical

R7 – 9.13pm – Haeuslers Echuca 3yo 0-2 Ltw Pace – 1650m

4 - Vincheska

5 - Nice One Centurion

8 - Ynobe Nova

3 – Roll On Apollo

Vincheska has shown good gate speed recently so she may be the first horse to the fence. If we forget her last start run, her performances prior were good. If she’s at her best, she’s a great winning chance.

BACK: 4 Vincheska – 2 units (win)

R8 – 9.43pm – Smartloans Bendigo Mares Trot – 2150m

7 - Aldebaran Demi

8 - Tictok

5 - Everybodylovesme

3 - Third Eye

Aldebaran Demi hit the line impressively last start at Melton in a harder race than this one. Although she has a poor barrier to overcome, this looks like her race to get back into the winner’s circle.

BACK: 7 Aldebaran Demi – 2 units (win)

R9 – 10.16pm – Always Ready @ Haras Des Trotteurs 2yo 0-1 Ltw Trot – 2150m

2- Kiss At Midnight

1 - Pocketoflollies

3 - Skyvalley Boy

6 - Bettor Man
