Bendigo Race 9 - Northern Rivers Equine Vet Clinic & Llowalong Farms Trot
AGAINST THE BRIDLE (8) will enjoy a class drop on recent attempts where he has been drawn wider on the back row. Worked last time after a fourth two back at Ballarat. Was runner-up the last time he raced in this grade at this venue and he draws to enjoy a nice trail. SHEZ MAJESTIC (3) hasn't raced since July but has been readied with a series of trials and was close-up in her latest. Draws well so could be competitive. WHATS THE TEA (7) bombed the start last time but was close-up from a second row draw two back so is capable of much better. COL DU GRANON (6) has claims off a 2m second at Maryborough two back.
