Strategy
Okay, so we have 4 Bridgette right? These will be your main card. Use Gancelot's skill to send him back to the deck, for extra power later. Ride Blaster Blade. Recommended to have Wingal at the back. Ride Bridgette. Now you have Bridgette who can drive-check twice and for every drive check being a grade 3 card, you get a +5000 power boost. This is a good power addition along with triggers.

In the worst case scenario when your opponent could guard against Bridgette's attack, the least you could do is wish for a Stand Trigger, or save the Rear-guard attacks for after Bridgette's attack.

You could, just prevent him from guarding when attacking with rearguards first, using this layout, not guaranteed to work, but if your opponent is over cautious, it could blow away some cards in his hand:

Have 2 Marrons at the back of both sides, then at the front use Gallatin and if    possible, Bors. This, even if your opponent doesn't guard, can deal damage already. If you get a stand trigger as a result of the twin drive-check, stand Gallatin again, Bors will just cost you more counterblasts.
