Melton Race 10 - Nevele R Stud 3yo Mdn Pace
CAPTAIN HANK NZ (3) is stepping out for the first time. By leading sire Captaintreacherous and hails from the Joe Pace stable. Has been trialling well and should enjoy an economical run from this draw so could kick off with a win. SANDELTON (1) is a three-year-old filly by Sweet Lou on debut. Placed in both of her trials here and she is likely to get the favours from the inside draw so could score at her first appearance. ITSAWOMANSWORLD (5) was well in the betting on debut but manners let her down. Had been trialling well prior so looks to have ability. Should have learned from that first outing so may be worth another chance along with SWEET FLORABEL (7) who began badly last time but had placed in her first two starts.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr2) over 2240m at this track beaten 35 m by Soho Amaryllis (2:44.20) in 3yo on September 18 at $126. Might need more time.
