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

3 – Whats The Tea

7 – Remi Lou

2 – Steel The Moment

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)
