That makes the Wellington left-hander the most dangerous player at the University Oval today as far as Otago is concerned.
The strongly-built top order batsman has played 59 one-day games for Otago and just one for his newly-adopted province.
Bracewell is very much a product of Otago. But following two lean seasons with the bat the 26-year-old felt like he had ''stagnated'' and needed to try something different.
He transferred to Wellington and was named captain of the Plunket Shield team.
That responsibility has sat well with Bracewell. He led the Firebirds to four consecutive victories, including a comprehensive win against Otago.
But today's one-day game against the Volts marks the first time he will play against his old team in Dunedin.
He will have to take an extra 30 or so steps to the visitors' changing rooms down the other end of the grandstand.
''The first game was a little bit strange,'' Bracewell said.
''It was good to see all the guys again but you also see things a little bit differently when you play against your old team.
''The more it happens the less of a novelty it will be, but it is still pretty fresh at the moment.
''And as much as it is just another game, you do want to do really well against a side that you played with for such a long time.''
Bracewell will be using all that inside knowledge to help plot Otago's downfall.
The Volts beat Canterbury by three wickets in Rangiora on Sunday and have named an unchanged team. Wellington has also stuck with the same group of players despite losing a last over thriller to Northern Districts in the opening round.
The Volts leaned heavily on its spin trio of Rob Nicol, Anaru Kitchen and Michael Rippon to restrict Canterbury. But the home side has a nicely-balanced attack which can easily switch between seam and spin if the conditions dictate.
Bracewell, who is living in Wellington's northern suburb of Newlands with his fiancee, Lauren Ralston, and team-mate, Logan van Beek, feels Otago presents a more formidable challenge in the limited-overs formats.
''They have a really good side but I think their players are better suited to playing their shots.''
Hamish Rutherford shapes as a key wicket for Wellington. He scored a hundred in his last match and combined with Nicol in a 175-run opening stand.
Black Caps fringe batsman Neil Broom and classy all-rounder Jimmy Neesham are due big scores, while Jack Hunter picked up three wickets against Canterbury and has to keep bowling well to hold off the challenge from Matt Bacon.
For Wellington, pace bowler Hamish Bennett and van Beek will be hoping to transfer their success with the red ball to the one-day campaign, while the vastly experienced Hamish Marshall remains a threat with the bat.
Bracewell has been getting starts but has not ''really kicked on''. He hopes to play a more significant role and win some games for his new team - starting today.
