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

R1 – 5.30pm – Always Ready @ Haras Des Trotteurs Trot – 2150m

5 Mumpaysthebills

7 Kings Guard

1 The Chook

6 Luvski

Mumpaysthebills nearly ran down Mega Spur at Yarra Valley last start. Mega Spur has gone on to qualify for a VSS final on the weekend, where she is a top five chance. Kings Guard also looks to be a classy type, but I am hoping Mumpaysthebills finds a suitable forward position.

BACK: 5 Mumpaysthebills – 2 units (win)

R2 – 5.59pm – Skyvalley (Nz) @ Aldebaran Park Mares Trot – 2150m

7 Dona Amalia

1 Jessicas Story

8 Atego Dawn

3 Double Dot

Dona Amalia is sectionally racing significantly faster than the rest of this field. In a similar field last week, she had to cover an extra 40-metres racing wide and was only beaten 5.3-metres. With a better run she is a great winning chance.

BACK: 7 Dona Amalia – 2 units (win)

R3 – 6.32pm – Prydes Easifeed Pace – 2150m

7 Epic Orion

5 Breathe Easy

1 Tex Goes Bang

11 Ozzie Corka

R4 – 7.00pm – Swan Hill Stallion Tender Mares Pace – 1650m

9 Mahindi

7 Asmileandawinx

1 Kyloan Queen

8 Bubby To Base

Mahindi is returning from Queensland where she was sectionally performing at least two seconds better than the rest of this field. This race seems easier than Saturday night mares races at Albion Park where she has recently been placed.

BACK: 9 Mahindi – 2 units (win)

R5 – 7.33pm – Stonemans Village Iga & Liquor Strathdale Pace – 2150m

8 Captain Pins

7 Arggghhh

6 Hes Charlies Angel

3 Mongiana

Captain Pins at his best is a talented horse. He has options from the barrier here and will likely be flashing home late. Noting he has a gear change which could influence a change in performance, Blinkers added - Murphy Blind O/S, Hopples - Length 60.5 lengthened from 59.5.

BACK: 8 Captain Pins - 1 unit (win)/1 unit (place)

R6 – 8.00pm – Poster Boy @ Llowalong Farms Mares Pace – 2150m

4 Final Bow

6 Bet Sheza Lady

9 Gemeadde

2 I See Iris

R7 – 8.30pm – Spring H2o Fillies & Mares Maiden Trot – 1650m

5 Moonshine Penny

7 Oprah Double You

10 Zingara Lass

2 Brigitte Royal

Taking a bit of a risk and putting the Volstead-sired first starter Moonshine Penny on top here. She has been trialling behind top horses, where she has been beaten clearly. However, she has shown she is a safe trotter with gate speed which can get you quite far in trot races of this class.

BACK: 5 Moonshine Penny - 1 unit (win)/1 unit (place)

R8 – 9.05pm – Southern Cross Office Equipment (Scoe) Fillies & Mares Maiden Pace – 1650m

4 Majors Creek

2 Treacherous Jewel

1 Carly Perez

3 Sneaky Philtra
