Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for tonight's seven-race card at Bendigo.
R1 – 6.14pm – Nigel Milne Harness Racing (Insanity Lodge) Maiden Trot – 1650m
2 - Heart Of Graceland
7 - Maori Tattoo
5 - Madge Egan
10 - Rasengan
R2 – 6.48pm – King Of The North @ Llowalong Farms Pace – 1650m
9 - Four Starzzz Ruby
8 - Reign Em In
4 - Self Exclusion
5 – Kimchi
Four Starzzz Ruby is full of confidence after winning her last two starts. Her sectional times in the most recent race, when she settled in the 1-out 1-back position, were impressive. She looks set to find a similar race pattern here and should be the horse flashing home late.
BACK: 9 Four Starzzz Ruby – 2.5 Units (win)
R3 – 7.13pm – Petersen Westbrook Cameron Lawyers Mares Pace – 2150m
6 - Soho Americano
4 - Soho Margarita
5 - Jazzy Melea
1 - Martha Lavinia
It’s hard to look past Soho Americano here. Her best recent sectional times (two starts back when third in the Group 1 Vicbred Super Series Final) are nearly 2 seconds faster than the rest of this field. Even from the poor barrier, if she has to make her own luck, she looks to be too good.
BACK: 6 Soho Americano – 2.5 Units (win)
R4 – 7.40pm – Simonds Homes Bendigo Mares Trot – 2150m
6 - Aldebaran Demi
7 - Everybodylovesme
8 - Tictok
1 - Designs
Aldebaran Demi has raced well, placing in her last four starts. She has some gate speed if she chooses to use it, but she is versatile enough to go back and be saved for one final run. She is ready to get back into the winner’s circle, and this looks like a great race for her.
BACK: 6 Aldebaran Demi – 2.5 Units (win)
R5 – 8.11pm – Gold Central Victoria Maiden Pace – 1650m
8 - Fulloffight
2 - Do It
7 - Wicked Hangover
3 - Vincents Rainbow
Fulloffight is one of those horses that surprises me by still being a maiden. He clearly has ability and is ready to win. Being the only horse on the back line, Jack Laugher has options here.
BACK: 8 Fulloffight – 2.5 Units (win)
R6 – 8.42pm – Great Ocean Road Real Estate Mares Pace – 2150m
5 - Markleigh Caz
3 - Ifyoulovemeletmego
4 - Dancingonstarlight
7 - I Of The Hurrikane
R7 – 9.12pm – Results Financial Services Mares Trot – 2150m
1 - Velvetnlace
5 - Stick With Me
3 - With Aplomb
4 - Keayang Francisco
