How do you filter a Lookup field when using the trigger When a row is added, modified or deleted?

Not having any success filtering a lookup column when using the "When a row is added, modified or deleted" trigger and unable to find any resources on how to do it. Any help is much appreciated.

 

Basically all I want to do is to make sure the trigger does not fire unless the lookup column being selected is of a certain value. Example:

A main table called Travel, and Country is one of the lookup columns. If user selects, for example Australia, then the trigger activates. If user selects other countries, nothing happens.

    The filter row should be in the syntax 

    _countryfieldlogicalname_value eq 'australiaGUID'

    Thank you @Mira_Ghaly 

     

    Somehow the only syntax that worked is:

    _countryfieldlogicalname_value eq australiaGUID

    without the quotes...

     

    Just wondering is there any official Microsoft resource explaining this syntax?
