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

R1 – 4.57pm – JC Windows Pace – 2180m

1 – Chasing The Wind

2 – Elated

9 – Fear The Power

8 – Shaq

Chasing The Win has had a run of poor barriers recently and has been forced to cover extra ground racing wide. He does have gate speed, and from barrier one with in-form Jordan Leedham aboard, he should be hard to beat.

BACK: 1 Chasing The Wind – 2 units (win)


R2 – 5.27pm – Picklebet Pace – 2180m

1 – Sea Hawke

4 – Nivekalon Eagle

10 – Our Mystery Bet

6 – Midnite Desire

Sea Hawke has really found form in recent months, winning his last two races well. He’s drawn nicely here, should settle forward, and looks a strong chance to make it three in a row.

BACK: 1 Sea Hawke – 1 unit (win)


R3 – 5.59pm – Jet Roofing Trot – 2180m

13 – Kyvalley Jetstream

10 – Keayang Brandy

9 – Silver Spoon

11 – Allwatfunjingles


R4 – 6.32pm – Momentum Gaming Pace – 1690m

12 – Blue Ocean

3 – Freak Out

11 – Lotakevi

2 – Spun Silver

Although Blue Ocean hasn’t been in the winner’s circle for a while, he’s racing better than his form suggests. Michael Bellman takes the reins tonight and, while he doesn’t drive him often, he’s won on him twice from limited opportunities. Looks a solid each-way chance here.

BACK: 12 Blue Ocean – 1 unit (win) / 1 unit (place)


R5 – 6.59pm – VSTA Trotters Cup Final – 2150m

8 – Watch And Act

2 – Constant

7 – Link In Bio

13 – Johns Boy

Watch And Act was first-up in a heat of this event and sustained a strong run to win. This is a tough field, but he’s likely to take improvement from last week and is right in the mix.

BACK: 8 Watch and Act – 1 unit (win)


R6 – 7.30pm – O'brien Electrical Pace – 2180m

4 – Wattlebank Arnie

5 – Stag Party

2 – Bizzness Class

7 – Scheming


R7 – 8.00pm – Broadstead Kilmore Pace – 1690m

7 – Pas Guarantee

3 – Look Like Diamonds

9 – All Da Rage

2 – Big Bad Ossie

Pas Guarantee is definitely racing better than his form suggests. Last start he raced a lap in the breeze in a strong Free For All at Melton, then got shuffled back late but still battled on well. This is a much easier race, and he looks fantastic value here.

BACK: 7 Pas Guarantee – 1 unit (win) / 1 unit (place)


R8 – 8.30pm – Coulter Legal Pace (2nd Heat) – 2180m

1 – Shotinthedark

8 – Pistol Pearce

2 – My Guarantee

5 – Give Fred A Clap

Shotinthedark was strong last start, storming home into second out wide at Ballarat. He draws barrier one here, and this doesn’t look like a race with a blistering front line, so he should be able to hold a forward position. This looks a winnable race for him.

BACK: 1 Shotinthedark – 2 units (win)


R9 – 9.00pm – Styles Construction 2yo Maiden Pace – 1690m

3 – Ozzie Pearl

2 – Calzaghe

4 – Sriracha

7 – Sumthin Else
