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

R1 – 5.29pm – VHRC / Black Horse Naturals Pace – 1690m

3 – Beryls Grin

1 – Lotakevi

10 – Midnight Desire

5 – Atomic Glory

This is a very even race, and Beryls Grin has been performing quite consistently this preparation. We can forget last start where he broke gear and galloped. Before that, he finished in the top four in his previous six runs. He has a forward barrier and in-form driver Ryan Sanderson here.

BACK: 3 Beryls Grin – 1 unit (win) / 1 unit (place)

R2 – 6.02pm – VHRC / Del Re National Foods Trot Final – 2180m

8 – Keayang Brandy

7 – Scar

5 – Settle The Bill

10 – Rarity Rock

The Lisa Pitt stable is flying at the moment and Keayang Brandy is a smart, progressive mare looks the standout in this race. She’s drawn awkwardly, but her class should be enough to overcome it.

BACK: 8 Keayang Brandy – 2 units (win)

R3 – 6.30pm – VHRC / Gbl Properties 4yo & Older Maiden Trot – 2180m

10 – Military Merit

8 – Kyvalley Mariachi

4 – Jilliby Topgun

5 – Heart Of Graceland

Formerly trained in Sydney, Military Merit has always shown ability, but his manners have held him back, which is likely why he remains a maiden. He ran well first-up in Victoria for the Andy Gath stable, finishing second at Cranbourne, and the addition of trotting hopples looked to help his gait. If he trots throughout, he’s right in this.

BACK: 10 Military Merit – 2 units (win)

R4 – 7.06pm – VHRC / Benstud Standardbreds Pace (2nd Heat) – 1690m

2 – Bronski Royal

6 – Loyala Spiaggia

4 – Majors Creek

3 – Dashing Cowboy

Bronski Royal resumes here after winning a trial at this track last week. He settled third before making a late move to score impressively, and from his barrier he should be able to find a forward position in running.

BACK: 2 Bronski Royal – 1 unit (win) / 1 unit (place)

R5 – 7.36pm – Thank You Maxine Brain 3yo Maiden Pace – 1690m

2 – Magic Miki

8 – Eebeebee

5 – Colorado Girl

6 – Whirly Maurz

R6 – 8.06pm – Jet Roofing Trot – 2180m

4 – Flight It Rainbow

7 – Whats The Tea

8 – Macho Maori

9 – Major Max

R7 – 8.36pm – VHRC / Woodlands Stud Pace – 1690m

8 – Ill Be Gone

7 – Ideal Moth

5 – Momentum Shift

4 – Popcornfriday

R8 – 9.06pm – VHRC / Renown Silverware Trot – 2180m

5 – Link In Bio

1 – Picket Wire

2 – Dossier

3 – Fritsch

R9 – 9.36pm – VHRC / Mazzetti Painting 2yo Pace – 1690m

7 – Go Easy On Me

6 – Sriracha

3 – Tappy

2 – Affamato

Go Easy On Me was super impressive on debut, winning at Menangle in wet conditions back in March. The well-bred Bettors Delight filly does face a fitness query and will need to overcome a poor barrier. There are some handy types in this field, but Go Easy On Me shapes as the best value among the favoured runners.

BACK: 7 Go Easy On Me – 2 units (win)

R10 – 10.12pm – VHRC / Australian Pacing Gold Trot – 2180m

7 – The Night Queen

6 – Always Skye High

4 – Playa Del Carmen

8 – Tiney

QUADDIE (Races 5-8)
