Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for Thursday's eight-race card at Ballarat.
R1 – 6.38pm – VHRC / Renown Silverware Pace – 2200m
2 – Home And Dry
1 – Ona Merry Dance
3 – Silver Domino
11 – Oscar Bravo
R2 – 7.06pm – VHRC / Mark Gurry & Associates Concession Drivers Pace – 1710m
7 – Breathe Easy
9 – Royal Saxon
11 – Yankee Gambler
10 – Lady In Line
Breathe Easy won very impressively first-up last start for Larry Lynch. He’ll need to overcome barrier seven today, but based on his performance last start, he may still prove too good.
BACK: 7 Breathe Easy – 2.5 Units (win)
R3 – 7.36pm – VHRC / GBL Properties Pace – 1710m
6 – Ninedolla Toastie
7 – Alanna Miki
8 – Wild Ideal
2 – Imagination Oro
The ultra-consistent Ninedolla Toastie has placed in her last seven starts without winning. She possesses a brilliant turn of foot, along with excellent gate speed. Although she faces a tricky barrier, she's racing well enough to claim victory.
BACK: 6 Ninedolla Toastie – 2.5 Units (win)
R4 – 8.06pm – VHRC / Mazzetti Painting Pace – 1710m
3 – Sports Charm
6 – Im Field Major
9 – Dancebytheseaside
8 – Sinbad Sassy
Sports Charm is a lightly raced mare trained by Aaron Dunn. She appears to be the likely leader over the short trip and seems to have found a race in which she can get back into the winner's circle.
BACK: 3 Sports Charm – 2.5 Units (win)
R5 – 8.36pm – VHRC / Haras Des Trotteurs Trot – 2200m

Bolramski has excellent gate speed and a brilliant turn of foot. He has been racing superbly, recording the best recent sectional times in this event. If he can get into a good position early, he looks like the winner.
BACK: 4 Bolramski – 2.5 Units (win)
