Bendigo Race 4 - Aldebaran Park Trot
BROTHER MOUNTAIN (5) enjoyed the drop in grade from the Nutrien series when he led from one spot wider than this and kept going for a win at Melton last start, getting home by 1.2 metres. Could go through his grades now. LITTLE MISS VALLEY (7) broke when fifth at Melton last start but had won twice in a row prior. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but she has the speed to get across so can feature with manners. VOLDAGHA (6) draws wider but is on the radar after his last-start fourth here two weeks along with a Shepparton win last month. LUCKY YOU (1) got the prize by 12 metres at Maryborough a week ago. Likely to get all the favours from this draw so can play a role again.

Last start was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr5) over 1690m at Maryborough, at the bell was 6th-8.9 beaten 6 m by Itz Classic Gold (2:05.40) on June 17 at $13. Two runs back surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early pace at Kilmore beaten 35 m by Ijustcantseeit (2:07.00) on June 4 at $81. Will find this tough.
