Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for Thursday’s card at Ballarat.
R1 – 6.04pm – Ballarattrottingclub.Com.Au Pace – 1710m
5 – Posterized
1 – Im The Wild One
8 – Nothing Sweeter
11 – Maxy Bomber
Posterized really impressed me two starts ago when he raced in the breeze and battled on well to finish third. Last start he was in a Vicbred Super Series heat and couldn’t get into the race, but this is a much easier event for him. He does have a tricky draw, but I still like his chances here.
BACK: 5 Posterized – 2.5 units (win)
R2 – 6.34pm – Book Now Xmas Race Meeting 4/12 Trot – 2200m
10 – At The Distance
6 – Oopzee Daizee
4 – Abbie
1 – Fling It Rainbow
R3 – 7.01pm – Del Re National Foods Trot – 2200m
4 – Amour Maternal
2 – Snickers Express
9 – Solotrekk
5 – Floating Mountain
Forget Amour Maternal’s last start where she galloped, the run prior she was brilliant, sustaining a strong move to finish second alongside the talented Ringer Wells. If she gets a good trip here, she’s a great winning chance.
BACK: 4 Amour Maternal – 2.5 units (win)
R4 – 7.36pm – Cooke & Foley Pace – 2200m
2 – Davolas Legacy
5 – Montana Pride
10 – Major Crunch
4 – Lenard Ess
R5 – 8.13pm – APG – A Horse For Everyone Vicbred Super Series (4yo Mares) (1st Semi-Final) – 2200m
2 – Look Like Diamonds
4 – Eureka Jo
5 – The Answer
3 – Sweet Ideal
Look Like Diamonds is one of my favourite mares in Australia, and she will need to be brilliant to win this event, but she’s so versatile and looks to get a good trip from barrier two. I can see her finding the front, and from there she looks hard to run past.
BACK: 2 Look Like Diamonds – 2.5 units (win)
R6 – 8.41pm – APG – A Horse For Everyone Vicbred Super Series (4yo Mares) (2nd Semi-Final) – 2200m
1 – Kiss
3 – Sweetnikkilou

1 – Maxnjax
R8 – 9.47pm – APG – A Horse For Everyone Vicbred Super Series (4yo Entires & Geldings) (2nd Semi-Final) – 2200m
2 – War Dan Buddy
4 – Thestatesman
5 – Cuzzy Bro

R9 – 10.15pm – Ferndale Foods 2yo Maiden Pace – 1710m
4 – Scooter Lou
1 – My Marionette
5 – Storms Vendetta
3 – Swaywithsierra
R10 – 10.41pm – Easy Waste 4yo & Older Maiden Trot – 2200m
4 – Mi Bow
7 – Metro Swish
9 – Farstar
1 – Arivaderchi
I’m sticking with the Volstead-sired mare Mi Bow in this event. She’s been consistent this preparation, showing she’s ready to break through for her maiden victory. This looks an easier task for her, and it feels like her race to win.
BACK: 4 Mi Bow – 2.5 units (win)
