Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for Wednesday's meeting at Bendigo.

R1 – 6.09pm – Oxley Feed Mill Trot – 2150m

9 – Locksley Cavalier  

6 – Ox Knox

2 – Suga Daddy

3 – Constant

Locksley Cavalier had to sustain a long run from last to finish fourth in his most recent start at Melton. That race was tougher than this one. He’s a big horse with plenty of potential, and barrier nine suits him well. He should settle into a good position and will be one to watch late.

BACK: 9 Locksley Cavalier – 2 Units (win)

R2 – 6.36pm – J & A Mazzetti Painting Pace – 2150m

9 – Shaq

6 – Ivana Bytheseaside

2 – Madam Reactor

1 – Blue Cannon

Shaq has been racing tough this preparation, showing his ability to make his own luck and remain competitive even after doing work. He boasts the best recent sectional times, and if he can settle in the first half of the field, he should be right in the finish.

BACK: 9 Shaq – 2 Units (win)

R3 – 7.03pm – Sheahan Plumbing Pace – 1650m

9 – With In Reason

12 – Soho Playgirl

7 – Startin To Gogh

8 – King Saint

R4 – 7.30pm – Results Financial Services 3yo Maiden Pace – 1650m

11 – Kyoretsu

6 – Are Weasley

5 – Korengal Valley

7 – Soap And Bubbles

Kyoretsu made his race debut last week, finishing fourth at Bendigo. He hit the line strongly but still looked like he was learning the racing game. A trial winner earlier in March, he clearly has talent. The barrier isn’t ideal, but if he can find a good trail into the race, he’s a strong winning chance.

BACK: 11 Kyoretsu – 2 Units (win)

R5 – 8.02pm – The Douglas Deck Pace – 2150m

9 – Sir Sonny Maguire

11 – Martha Lavinia

10 – Alabama Ice

7 – Onecrowdedhour   

R6 – 8.33pm– Nigel Milne Harness Racing (Insanity Lodge) Trot – 2150m

9 – Bullapark Beno

6 – Stick With Me

7 – Settle The Bill

3 – Abbie

R7 – 9.00pm– Nutrien Ag Solutions Trot – 1650m

10 – Miss Ohana

8 – Flyin Time

4 – Baarlinee

1 – Dels Destiny

Miss Ohana made a big impression when she kicked off her career last year, finishing second to Keayang Kurki in her Vicbred Super Series Final to close out her last preparation. She galloped at the start in her first-up run this year and now steps out second-up. With time and space to settle from her barrier, she looks the class runner in this event.

BACK: 10 Miss Ohana – 2 Units (win)

R8 – 9.30pm – Strath Hill Butcher Trot – 1650m

6 – Ewing

2 – Mielicki

5 – The Chook

4 – Night Whisperer

R9 – 10.03pm – Gold Central Victoria Trot – 1650m

3 – My High Peak

9 – Boutika

6 – Sky Spirit

2 – You Got Me Good

R10 – 10.29pm – Stonemans Village Iga & Liquor Strathdale Pace – 1650m

9 – Nakula

3 – Feel The Reign

7 – Valiente

4 – Beta Than Love

Nakula is a talented mare, but she’s cost herself with her manners early in her last two runs. If she settles early and brings her best manners, she may be a bit too good for these runners.

BACK: 9 Nakula – 2 Units (win)
