Melton Race 6 - Alabar Vicbred Platinum Homegrown Classic

CAPTAIN PERFECT (3) tackled Breeders Crown races in his first two outings then enjoyed a class drop when he drew deep and raced up to four wide but fought well to go under by just a nose here last start. A better draw gives him the chance to break through. CAPTAIN GROOVE (4) led from this draw when he scored at Yarra Valley two starts ago before a second to handy one at his latest appearance here. Contender. RONNIE THE HAMMER (5) draws wider but is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by nearly 12 metres at Shepparton. MARTYR (6) took on a handy bunch when resuming. Could improve.
