Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for Thursday's card at Ballarat.

R1 – 5.50pm – Del Re National Food Group Pace – 2200m

10 – Twisting By

1 – Major Drama

5 – Gunforhire

12 – Tallaras Shadow


R2 – 6.30pm – Oakbank Estate Trot (2nd Heat) – 2200m

10 – Oopzee Daizee

9 – The Sky Is The Limit

5 – Imperial Command

2 – Chinski

Oopzee Daizee was excellent last start at Charlton, scoring despite covering an extra 17 metres. She’s likely to get a similar trip from barrier 10 over the middle distance and looks a strong each-way chance again.

BACK: 10 Oopzee Daizee – 1 unit (win) / 2 units (place)


R3 – 6.59pm – Sinclair Meats 4yo & Older Maiden Trot – 2200m

1 – Hilltop Hugh

3 – Alabama May

5 – Aldebaran Sariah

2 – Atego Robbo

Hilltop Hugh is a well-bred first starter for Chris Lang and Sonia Mahar who trialled impressively at Melton. Barrier one could pose some challenges, but he has the ability to win this.

BACK: 1 Hilltop Hugh – 2 units (win)


R4 – 7.30pm – QA Electrical Ballarat Pace Final – 1710m

3 – Salsawithsierra

2 – Kimchi

1 – Cinquanta

8 – Lilstrepo

Kimchi is a consistent performer who rarely runs a bad race. He’s finished in the top three at his past three starts and draws a handy barrier to settle prominently. Looks a solid each-way chance here.

BACK: 2 Kimchi – 1 unit (win) / 2 units (place)


R5 – 8.00pm – Durham Park 2YO Rising Star – 1710m

5 – Cardigan Dan

6 – Loucasso

4 – Maxo Mighty

3 – Knight Fury Dan


R6 – 8.30pm – Black Horse Naturals Pace – 1710m

9 – Nice One Centurion

1 – Chogi

3 – Sassyola

6 – Viva Storm

Nice One Centurion is lightly raced and, while he hasn’t visited the winners' circle for some time, his sectional times this preparation have been superior to the rest of the field. From barrier nine, he looks a strong winning chance here.

BACK: 9 Nice One Centurion – 2 units (win)


R7 – 9.02pm – Bc Electrical Pace – 1710m

10 – Amphijet

8 – Jilliby Tidalwave
