Nathan chats Northern Southland Cup Day

Branxholme harness racing trainer Nathan Williamson takes a team of six to Ascot Park tomorrow for Northern Southland Cup Day.

Two maiden runners, Two-Sweet DJ (Sweet Lou) and Sweet Sue (Sweet Lou) will run in Race Two.

Sweet DJ is drawn to get a soft trip which should suit the four year old mare.

Sweet Sue was a solid third at Cromwell and draws out at barrier five.

Adamas (Betting Line) takes his place in Race Four. He broke on the score up on debut and made ground late, running fourth.

Hidden Talent (Pegasus Spur) has been racing in better company recently and reverts back to the standing start in Race Five. Two of her six wins have been on this course.

Chezz Dale (Betterthancheddar) resumes in Race Eight. He hasn’t started since the end of June and hasn’t been to any trials or workouts.

Itoje (Betterthancheddar) rounds out Williamson’s day in Race Ten, the G3 $40,000 Macca Lodge Northern Southland Cup.

The seven year old led and was run down in the Cromwell Cup, finishing fourth.
