Saddleworld Bendigo Trot

Prize Money: $6,000

VOLDAGHA (2) is back today after a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Closed the last preparation in great style with a win by 1.75 metres over 2190m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Will have plenty of admirers. ISLAND FRANKIE (1) resumes from a spell of 11 months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 2150m at Bendigo. Has the benefit of a good draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. LILLYS TIGER (5) will be building in fitness and may find this easier than recent assignments. BUMPER SERVICE (3) owns a good record at this circuit and distance and draws well.

Three-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time.
