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

R1 – 5.24pm – Woodlands Stud Pace (1st Heat) – 2150m

9 – Budd Sidewinder

3 – Rockstar Leo

10 – Warrioress

2 – Blue Ocean

Budd Sidewinder has the standout recent sectional times in this field. He also has a sharp last 400-metre sprint, which he can put to good use from his likely settling position off barrier nine.

BACK: 9 Budd Sidewinder – 2 Units (win)

R2 – 5.57pm – Gold Central Victoria Pace – 1650m

4 – Sir Sonny Maguire

8 – I Of The Hurrikane

10 – Shaq

9 – Lou Will

Sir Sonny Maguire appears to be in career-best form since joining the Pitt stable, and I love following a horse that’s racing with confidence. This looks a very winnable race for him.

BACK: 4 Sir Sonny Maguire – 2 Units (win)

R3 – 6.32pm – Strath Hill Butcher Pace (1st Heat) – 2150m

8 – Ideal Moth

6 – Lilly Lotus

9 – Credulous

1 – Smart And Mighty

R4 – 7.00pm – Great Ocean Road Real Estate Pace – 1650m

5 – Goodtime Captain

9 - Iamahunter

3 – Jilliby Tidalwave

7 – Cheys Angel

R5 – 7.30pm – Apco Service Stations Strathdale & Kangaroo Flat Trot – 2150m

3 – Frankythefrenchman

5 – Allwatfunjingles

9 – The Priestess

8 – Abbie

Frankythefrenchman is a trotter with plenty of ability on his day, but he too often gets it wrong and breaks gait. Last start, he did everything right and raced without cover, only fading late to be beaten 9.7m. If he trots, he looks a great value chance here.

BACK: 3 Frankythefrenchman – 1 Unit (win) / 1 Unit (place)

R6 – 8.00pm – Alabar Bloodstock 2yo Maiden Pace – 1650m

6 – Chainsmoke

3 – I Want Mary

9 – Caties Son

8 – Dusty Philtra

In a race with little exposed form, Chainsmoke is the clear standout based on trial performances. However, I Want Mary has also impressed at the trials, and barrier three is a more favourable draw than Chainsmoke's barrier six. To me, the place odds for I Want Mary appear safer than the winning odds for Chainsmoke.

BACK: 3 I Want Mary – 2 Units (place)

R7 – 8.30pm – Haeuslers Echuca Pace – 1650m

4 – Rakajed

7 – Dessie Gee

8 – Hes From Heaven

2 – Mongiana

R8 – 9.09pm – Aldebaran Park 2yo Trot – 2150m

2 – Jays All That

6 – Ceejay On Broadway

1 – African Gala

4 – Hallebesofine   

Tyrone Abela is brilliant at preparing young trotters, and he has Jays All That in this event. This gelding was eye-catching in his first and only start at Melton, finishing second behind the talented Elle Perfecto. He looks a strong winning chance here.

BACK: 2 Jays All That – 2 Units (win)
