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

R1 – 5.05pm – Ballarattrottingclub.Com.Au Pace – 2200m

7 – The Mountain

6 – Starlight Sass

2 – Up And About

10 – American Victory

Experienced pacer The Mountain makes his Victorian debut tonight after relocating from New South Wales. On exposed form, his sectional times stack up well against this field. The wide draw makes it tough, but he looks a solid each-way chance.

BACK: 7 The Mountain – 1 unit (win) / 2 units (place)


2 – 5.32pm – 7+ Pace – 1710m

3 – The Democrat

10 – Sir Nippa

7 – Yankee Gambler

11 – Speedy Healy


R3 – 6.04pm – Interpath 4yo & Older Maiden Pace – 2200m

2 – Im The Wild One

9 – Jilliby Tomcat

8 – Go My Son

5 – Jilliby Moon


R4 – 6.30pm – Radio Ballarat Trot – 1710m

7 – Faith Full

10 – Fling It Rainbow

11 – Tiney

9 – Nuclear Attitude


R5 – 7.00pm – Beraldo Coffee Pace – 1710m

10 – Valiente

2 – Caledonian Ranger

1 – Im Wesley

6 – Grayson Red

Valiente has hit winning form with victories at his past two starts. A versatile type, he’ll need to overcome a tricky draw but is capable of making it three in a row.

BACK: 10 Valiente – 2 units (win)


R6 – 7.30pm – Hewitt & Whitty Pace – 1710m

9 – Keayang Shadowbox

1 – Senna Storm

4 – Carramar Olam

7 – Keayang Galliano

Keayang Shadowbox broke through for his maiden win first-up at Mildura, delivering a dominant performance to score by 15.4 metres. He’s likely to take further improvement from that run.

BACK: 9 Keayang Shadowbox – 2.5 units (win)


R7 – 8.00pm – Coca Cola Trot – 2200m

2 – Noble Count

1 – Singara Ted

R8 – 8.30pm – Vsta Trotters Cup (3rd Heat) – 2200m

1 – Boutika

7 – Link In Bio

5 – Im Above The Law

8 – Jakarta

Boutika has shown she can begin well and run solid races from the stand, especially when able to lead. If she trots throughout, she’s a genuine place or each-way chance.

BACK: 1 Boutika – 2.5 units (place)


R9 – 9.00pm – Woodlands Stud Pace – 2200m

8 – Midnight Desire

7 – Creative Lad
