• Bronte Nieuwenburg
Bronte Nieuwenburg’s form for Thursday night at Kilmore, featuring bets and tips across all eight races. OVERVIEW: This is a very even race with plenty of chances to open the meeting. ELIZAJANE (9) is in brilliant form, having won three of her last five starts. All of her recent wins have come when she has found the front. She will have a different race map here, but it should still suit her. She has the best sectional times in this event. BREATHE EASY (1) has great gate speed and is racing well. He has the option to hold the front or take a…

Melton Harness Preview - Wednesday 21st October

• Bronte Nieuwenburg
Bronte Nieuwenburg’s form for Melton on Wednesday features tips and betting analysis ahead of all nine races. OVERVIEW: The opening event at Melton is a maiden, but there are plenty of smart horses early in their careers, making this a competitive race. MYDEEPESTDESIRE (4) has had three career starts, drawing poor barriers each time and enduring three very tough runs in narrow defeat. He clearly has ability, is tough and shouldn’t remain a maiden for long. PET WOLF (3) is another impressive, lightly raced horse. He has had four starts since December 2025 and has yet to miss a place.…

Ballarat Harness Preview - Thursday 15 October

• Bronte Nieuwenburg
Bronte Nieuwenburg has taken a close look at Thursday night’s Ballarat card, finding the key chances, best angles and plays for punters. OVERVIEW: This is a very competitive event to open the meeting at Ballarat. COLOSIMO (9) is a lightly raced runner for the Lawlor stable. Although he has won only once, he looks a promising type with plenty of ability. He is first-up since June but has the best sectional times on exposed form in this event. Barrier nine suits fresh, as he won’t need to be used up early. MASTER LOUEY (4) is a well-bred, consistent colt for Jayne Davies.…

Kilmore Harness Preview - Thursday 8th October

• Bronte Nieuwenburg
Bronte Nieuwenburg’s form for Wednesday night at Kilmore, featuring bets and tips across all 10 races. OVERVIEW: OVER HERE (4) is having his third career start for in-form trainer-driver Donna Castles. On debut, he did a few things wrong but still ran home impressively after losing ground when galloping during the race. Last start, he was brave in defeat when second after sustaining a strong run late. He looks well placed here. GYM QUEEN (2) is an ultra-consistent mare, and it’s surprising she is still a maiden. She returned from a break with a good third last start and battled well to the line.…

Ballarat Harness Preview - Wednesday 7 October

• Bronte Nieuwenburg
Bronte Nieuwenburg has taken a close look at Wednesday night’s Ballarat card, finding the key chances, best angles and plays for punters. OVERVIEW: This looks like an even contest to open the meeting, with many winning chances. THEROUX (11) looks on paper like he has been unable to find his best form this preparation, but things haven’t really gone his way. He does have the best sectional times in this event. Barrier 11 will make it tricky, but the middle distance helps. Similarly, KNOW THE SCORE (8) has been racing well but will need some luck from the barrier. He’s been letting down nicely in recent runs. HOME AND DRY (4) battled on…

Kilmore Harness Preview - Wednesday 30th September

• Bronte Nieuwenburg
Bronte Nieuwenburg’s form for Wednesday night at Kilmore, featuring bets and tips across all nine races. OVERVIEW: OZZIE DIAMOND (3) is a maiden taking on more experienced horses who have already won races, but she has been racing better than her numerical form suggests. She finished fifth in the Vicbred Super Series heat two starts ago behind Ideal Frankie before being a late scratching from the semi-final. She raced well last start at Mildura but was checked late. She has the best sectional times in this event. BLUE CANNON (1) ran home well last start at this track despite racing wide. He should get a much better trip from the…

• Bronte Nieuwenburg
Bronte Nieuwenburg has taken a close look at Wednesday night’s Ballarat card, finding the key chances, best angles and plays for punters. Race 1 OVERVIEW: HOME AND DRY (3) got back into the winner’s circle last start at Cranbourne. He flashed home impressively from midfield up the straight to win well. This race is harder, but he now has the winning confidence. KIMCHI (4) has a good turn of foot, including good gate speed, which he has the option to use here. THE IRISHMAN (2) has had some really tough or unlucky runs recently. He often gets caught wide and needs to cover extra ground racing wide. Last start was his first…

Kilmore Harness Preview - Thursday 17th September

• Bronte Nieuwenburg
Bronte Nieuwenburg’s form for Thursday night at Kilmore featuring bets and tips across all nine races. Race 1 OVERVIEW: This opening event is an even field with many winning chances. DALLASCOWBOY (9) was well beaten two starts ago, but it was a heat of the Vicbred Super Series won by the talented The Niteshift. Last start, he was only beaten 7.7 metres in a fast 1.51.9 mile rate at Wagga. He’s only lightly raced and he’s racing better than his numerical form suggests. CHAINSMOKE (6) returned a winner last start at Swan Hill after 10 months on the sidelines. He flashed home powerfully in the run. This race is harder, but he will have improved with fitness. ASSIGNED (3) was…

Bronte Nieuwenburg has taken a close look at Wednesday night’s Ballarat card, finding the key chances, best angles and plays for punters. Race 1 OVERVIEW: This is a competitive event to open the card, with many winning chances. POSTERIZED (5) settled last last start and flashed home into second. He covered an extra 33 metres in the event, racing wide. He’s been racing well but has just got back in his races recently. If he can slot into a good position here, he’s racing well enough to win. BELLA LOUISE (2) comes from the strong Cranbourne-based Jayne Davies team. She did it tough last start outside the talented Miss Addi and wasn’t beaten far, still running home…

Kilmore Harness Preview - Thursday 10th September

• Bronte Nieuwenburg
Bronte Nieuwenburg’s form for Thursday night at Kilmore featuring the Vicbred Super Series heats for the four-year-old pacers.  Race 1 OVERVIEW: What a brilliant race this is to kick off the meeting at Kilmore. THE ART OF SUCCESS (9) is one of the most exciting mares in the country and she is aiming up for her ninth straight victory here. Most of her wins have come from in front, so her barrier makes for her to adopt a different racing pattern here. But regardless, she is a star and a horse to watch in the Vicbred Super Series Final next weekend. HOUSE PARTY (10) is the new mare on the scene. She’s a big horse and has…
