Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for tonight's seven-race card at Ballarat.
R1 – 5.50pm – Betavet Maiden Trot – 2200m
4 Dreams Of Love
3 Kyvalley Mugsy
6 Majestic Party boy
8 Coltrane
Dreams Of Love looks to have found the perfect race to breakthrough with her maiden win. Her sectional times are at least two seconds better than the rest of this field's exposed form.
BACK: 4 Dreams Of Love – 2 units (win)
R2 – 6.25pm – Hewitt and Whtity Pace – 1710m
4 Really Smartie
6 Bona Khan
8 Ruby Wingate
3 Shady Dancer
Really Smartie was brave last start when racing without cover and placing second at Melton. He will need some luck finding a good position as he lacks high gate speed but if he can find a good position, he will be a threat late.
BACK: 4 Really Smartie – 1 unit (each-way)
R3 – 6.59pm – Ferndale Foods Pace- 2200m
4 Nothing Sweeter
9 Lester
5 Goodtime Stryker
1 Shikoba
Nothing Sweeter has been racing well sectionally as well as being very consistent this preparation. She has been in the top three in seven of her last nine starts without winning. If she has luck here, she should be in the finish.
BACK: 4 Nothing Sweeter – 2 units (win)
R4 – 7.30pm – Beraldo Coffee Pace – 1710m
9 Waterfront
7 Kwick Sand
10 Delightful Charm
6 Goodtime Louis
Waterfront won her Australian debut in June at Launceston whilst carrying a flat tyre. She has not raced since but on that run and from a strong team she should be winning here.
BACK: 9 Waterfront – 2 units (win)
R5 – 8.00pm – Radio Ballarat Trotters Handicap - 2200m
8 Hes Themightyspin
3 Kaotic Flair
6 Fremarks Peggy
7 Rockford Peach
R6 – 8.30pm – Easywaste Pace - 2200m
10 Showsomejoy
2 Odin
5 Our Ultimate Gracy
9 First Class
Odin has good gate speed and races in well in front. Outside Showsomejoy, the rest of this field looks quite even. If Odin can hold a good position near the front of the field, he looks great place value.
BACK: 2 Odin – 2 units (place)
R7 – 9.00pm – Ballarattrottingclub.com.au Trot - 2200m
7 Prince Of Rock
4 Hes A Hammer
5 Whos The Man
1 Minimez

** 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.
