Kyneton Race 8 - Bet365 Kyneton Cup
A good contest. NAVY KING (6) ran his race winning the Hamilton Cup from the pace. This is a step-up, but three back he led and just missed at The Valley this trip and should be suited around here. Another big run is on the cards. WONDER KID (3) didn't finish it off in much tougher at Caulfield, but still ran a big relative number and will be better for the outing. He's capable of using the inside draw and has decent claims for a top barn. LINCOLN ROCKS (5) peaks and his effort two back at The Valley more than stacks up. Had excuses there last time and has had a month away. Handles wet tracks and gets Meech for the apprentice. Will finish hard. STATION ONE (7) has been hevily bet this preparation winning and placing in country Opens. This is tougher, but he will be fitter again and is likely to control the race on his home track.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Gunbower Hcp October 4 over 1800m defeating Samurai Star with 55kg at $2.60. Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 10 at Avoca Avoca Cup on October 18 over 1860m, 1.75 len behind Staunch with 55kg at $3.10. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Improver to keep well onside.
