Melton Race 1 - 2Construct Trot
CLAUDYS HERO (4) looks to have returned an improved colt having won his maiden when resuming as a hot favourite at Ballarat. Draws lower and has upside so could go on with it. COCONUT MICKEY (5) is in good form and has the hoof on the till after placing in all three starts since a spell, most recently recording a second at Charlton. Peaking now so could break through. OX KNOX (6) is yet to miss a place and came from a similar draw to this when winning his maiden. Must respect. ROMANTIC NINA (2) broke last tie but strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance and draws well.
