Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for tonight's nine-race card at Bendigo.

R1 – 5.00pm – Impact-A Fasteners & Construction Supplies Pace (2nd Heat) – 1650m

1 – Karuma Kev

8 – Yankee Captain

3 – Villarock

6 – Carramar Olam

Last-start winner when leading, and with its gate speed, it looks set to lead again.
Can go back-to-back with James Herbertson in the sulky.

BACK: 1 Karuma Kev – 1.5 units (win)

R2 – 5.34pm – Petersen Westbrook Cameron Lawyers Bendigo Pace – 1650m

3 – Interpretation

9 – Amphijet

12 – Muselet

6 – Michen Roy

R3 – 5.59pm – Garrards Horse & Hound Pace (1st Heat) – 2150m

1 – Too The Max

9 – Salsboy

11 – My Darling Dancer

7 – Final Bow

Too The Max is fourth-up for the in-form Jennifer Douglas stable, with in-form driver Jordan Leedham aboard. He flashed home for third up the sprint lane last start and looks set for a soft run from barrier one.

BACK: 1 Too The Max – 1.5 units (win)

R4 – 6.32pm – Haras Des Trotteurs Trot – 2150m

1 – Waikare Adrienna

5 – Snickers Express

9 – Karbine

12 – I Am Harro

Waikare Adrienna has impressed at the trials and on debut, showing a dazzling turn of foot.
With a good draw and Chris Alford taking the reins, she looks ready to break through.

BACK: 1 Waikare Adrienne – 1.5 units (win) / 2.5 units (place)

R5 – 7.00pm – Nutrien Ag Solutions Maiden Pace – 1650m

4 – Normy

8 – Tellmeboutit

9 – Mhai Brinkley

3 – Soho Pina Colada

R6 – 7.30pm – VSTA Trotters Cup (1st Heat) – 2150m

9 – Johns Boy

7 – Watch And Act

2 – Apex

6 – Countess Chiron

Johns Boy has been ultra consistent since arriving from New Zealand. He was brilliant two starts ago when finishing second in the Warragul Trotting Cup. Although he faces a 30-metre handicap here, it shouldn't trouble him too much given his sensational stand start speed.

BACK: 9 Johns Boy – 1.5 units (win)

R7 – 8.00pm – Bendigo Locksmiths Trot – 2150m

6 – Dona Amalia

5 – Montana Chevelle

8 – Frankythefrenchman

9 – Just Abit Dusty

R8 – 8.30pm – VSTA Trotters Cup (2nd Heat) – 2150m

8 – Aldebaran Brooke

2 – Salski

7 – Meadow Valley Star

3 – Mielicki

Aldebaran Brooke is the standout class runner in this event. My only concern is her stand start manners, which remain a bit of an unknown. If she gets away cleanly, she should be too good.

BACK: 8 Aldebaran Brooke – 1.5 units (win)

R9 – 9.01pm – Aldebaran Park Trot – 2150m

4 – Midnight Muscle

6 – Azalea Mae

1 – Ikara

7 – The Vicars Girl

No units in this event, but Ikara is definitely one to watch. He’s first-up after 1218 days and has been trialing well.

** A betting unit is typically a percentage of the total bankroll or the amount of money you are willing to risk on a particular bet – for example 1 unit is 10% of your bankroll, therefore with a $100 bankroll 1 unit equals $10.
