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
