Godolphin take a pair of runners to Kyneton on Thursday where Concentrate can hit the ground running fresh in the final event.

The in form stable take Tally and Concentrate to the races on Thursday where each look great chances.

After a short but sweet autumn campaign, Concentrate can hit the ground running first up in the Sportsbet.com.au Benchmark 70 Handicap (1100m).

The son of Lonhro won first up at Werribee before going on with things at Cranbourne over 1200m.

He was then thrown in the deep end when a well held ninth in Group company when contesting the William Hill Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville.

This marks his first full race campaign as a gelding and the Sportsbet.com.au Handicap shapes as a particularly good starting point following the key scratchings of both Berlutti and Exclusive Lass.

With three trials in readiness, Concentrate will certainly be forward enough.

Having generally shown a liking to settle back and run on during his last campaign, the gelding can do so here and off what is anticipated to be a solid early tempo.

Johnny Roo Boy looks a main danger following a strong first up showing over 1140m at Geelong.

He will strip fitter for the outing and be prominent throughout second run from a spell.

Known as an out and out sprinter, a slight drop back in trip to 1100m should work in his favour.

Runsati has kicked off his latest campaign in good order with consecutive wins at Seymour and Echuca.

He is another in the field open to further improvement early in his campaign.

Others worth keeping an eye in regards to both betting moves and the parade ring are the resuming duo of Gloop at his stable debut and Gold Hoffa.

While the final event of the program at Kyneton is possesses a number of handy sprinters, it is Concentrate who is the most progressive and can be firing fresh as favourite in the last.
