Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for Thursday's nine-race card at Kilmore.

R1 – 6.19pm – O'brien Electrical Pace – 1690m

9 – Jetter Son

10 – Nai Harn Bay

8 – Anakin

4 – Deebraxton

Jetter Son is a two-year-old taking on the older horses here. However, his sectional times are best in comparison to this field. He also has a brilliant last 400-metre sprint which is suitable for his barrier here.

BACK: 9 Jetter Son – 2 units (win)

R2 – 6.52pm – Buds & Branches Florist Pace – 2180m

8 – Tophut Johny

11 – Favouritehighlight

3 – Muriel         

7 – Our Mystery Bet

Ross Graham’s team are flying at the moment, so I am happy to stick with Tophut Johny here on his recent strong form. He is racing very well, but he will need to navigate a tricky barrier. Favouritehighlight looks the one to beat, but his barrier is arguably worse than Tophut Johny here.

BACK: 8 Tophut Johny – 2 units (win)

R3 – 7.21pm – Mc Security 4yo & Older Maiden Pace – 1690m

8 – Mister Evolution

4 – Cincinnati

3 – Lorino

3 – Field Of Poppies

R4 – 7.54pm – C+M Build Group 0-2 Ltw Trot – 1690m

9 – Centurion Dream

11– Fremarkstilly

6 – Coconut Mickey

7 – With Aplomb

R5 – 8.21pm – Jet Roofing Concession Drivers Pace – 1690m

9 – Yankee Gambler

6 – Monsieur Flamel

7 – Indi Party Mood

3 – Lorimermajor

Yankee Gambler is a versatile and consistent horse, and he has the perfect barrier of nine today. Driver Hannah Parish has options if she saves him for one run or puts him into the race. This field also looks slightly easier than what he’s been racing against recently.

BACK: 9 Yankee Gambler – 2 units (win)

R6 – 8.54pm – Tab 3yo Maiden Pace – 2180m

6 – Clara Rocks

7 – Villarock

1 – Scattershot

3 – Judah

Villarock has shown a lot of ability since he was a young horse, but he just hasn’t put it all together and is yet to breakthrough with his maiden victory. I believe he will be one of those horses that once he gets the confidence he will improve significantly and possibly string a few wins together. He’s now in the care of Alison Alford.

BACK: 7 Villarock – 2 units (place)

R7– 9.21pm – Carlton & United Breweries Concession Drivers Pace – 1690m

3 – Forgone Conclusion

4 – Wingate Guy

1 – Braebeach

6 – Sirius Major

Forgone Conclusion races best when he’s put into the race and doing it tough. He will naturally end up in a position near the front with his barrier. If he manages to find the front, he will be very hard to beat. But if he’s in the chair, I still think he can win this event.

BACK: 3 Forgone Conclusion – 1 unit (win)

R8 – 9.51pm – Beraldo Coffee Pace – 2180m

5 – Remi Lou

8 – Twisting By

7 – Fancy Free

4 – Our Fire And Delight

R9 – 10.22pm – Broadstead Kilmore Trot – 2180m

6 – Mielicki

2 – Amour Maternal

7 – Prohibited Bid

1 – Kyvalley Picasso

Mielicki has an awkward barrier here, but he’s been racing well and he’s always hitting the line strong. He was good last start when flashing into fourth in the Bacchus Marsh Trotters Cup and that looked to be a slightly harder race than this one.

BACK: 6 Mielicki – 1 unit (win)
