Melton Race 10 - Vale Graham Eeles Mdn Pace

CAPTAIN HANK NZ (1) opened his career in pleasing fashion two weeks ago, leading from a couple of spots wider and sticking on for second at this circuit and distance. Open to natural improvement and can take advantage of the ace draw. SWEET FLORABEL (6) had shown promise in placing in her first two outings at this venue before she bombed the start last time. Has been back to the trials since and is worth another chance. SONOFPLATINUM (4) was well in the market when midfield here on debut. Draws wider but has scope for improvement. SMOKEN HEAVEN (2) draws well and has claims after coming from a wide barrier for third at Terang last time out.
