Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for Wednesday's meeting at Bendigo.
R1 – 6.18pm – Stonemans Village Iga & Liquor Strathdale Trot – 1605m
5 – Promise Dream
10 – April Sun
1 – Jansu
4 – Romantic Nina
The Chris Svanosio-prepared Promise Dream seems to have taken the next step in this preparation and is full of confidence. She does have a tricky barrier, but if she finds herself in a good position, she looks like a great winning chance.
BACK: 5 Promise Dream – 2 Units (win)
R2 – 6.46pm – Nutrien Ag Solutions Pace – 1605m
3 – Frugal Fare
6 – El Boston
11 – Major Celebrity
5 – Credulous
The flashy grey Frugal Fare has finished in the top two in his last five starts. He has really impressed me recently, and he is racing quite versatily. He’s lightly raced and seems to be getting better and better.
BACK: 3 Frugal Fare – 2 Units (win)
R3 – 7.17pm – Woodlands Stud Pace – 1605m
10 – Chasing Rex
4 – Maas Betting Again
5 – Smart And Mighty
3 – Terror Eyes
Chasing Rex has only had 10 career starts and is getting better with each start. Last start, he was sensational when finishing second in the Ararat Pacing Cup, having to race wide and without cover, covering an extra 24 meters. He won’t have an easy run here from the barrier, but his form is hard to overlook.
BACK: 10 Chasing Rex – 2 Units (win)
R4 – 7.50pm – Forty Winks Bendigo Mares Pace – 1605m
9 – Lilly Lotus
2 – Kimcando
10 – Interpretation
3 – I Of The Hurricane
Lilly Lotus raced against the best two-year-old fillies last year, and she really impressed me. She clearly showed a lot of ability but just needed time to put it all together, as she was a bit green. She’s first-up this year, and I think she’s much smarter than this field.
BACK: 9 Lilly Lotus – 2 Units (win)
R5 – 8.18pm – Alabar Bloodstock Maiden Trot – 2150m
7 – Sky Spirit
1 – Lillys Tiger
3 – Speedy Comet
5 – Blue Skye Alm
R6 – 8.52pm – Southern Cross Office Equipment (Scoe) Pace – 1605m
7 – Skyfall Benchmark
2 – Shazza Love
1 – Lorimermajor
4 – Lou Will
R7 – 9.23pm – Impact-A Fasteners & Construction Supplies Pace – 2150m
3 – Alpha Crucis
6 – Redbank Molly
5 – Dancingonstarlight
7 – Festinalente
R8 – 9.59pm – Apco Serive Stations Strathdale & Kangaroo Flat Trot – 2150m
8 – Nellie Joy
9 – Atego Dawn
7 – Velvetnlace
4 – Col Du Granon
Nellie Joy's numerical form doesn’t look fantastic. However, his run at Melton two starts ago, when he finished fourth behind Timmy Turtle, showed great sectional times. This looks like an easier race, and if he puts it all together, he is a great winning chance.
BACK: 8 Nellie Joy – 2 Units (win)
