Talented colt Supido has overcome a less than ideal preparation to snare a first-up win at Flemington.

Trainer Mick Kent had wanted to get the colt back racing earlier this winter but a foot abscess kept Supido from resuming until Saturday's Dalray Handicap (1100m).

Supido, well supported to run the $3 favourite, showed his talent as he raced to a two-length win over I Am The General ($21) with Rough Justice ($5.50) another head away third.

"He's a nice horse and has always been a nice horse," Kent said.

"We've just had a terrible preparation with him. He has always had pharyngitis and then we were going to go for the Creswick Series this time in, but then he got a foot abscess and it took ages (to come right).

"He has come here pretty new, but he's a very natural athlete."

The Listed Creswick Series Final was at Flemington last Saturday.

Supido was only stepping out for his fourth start on Saturday and first since winning his maiden at Sandown at the start of April.

"He trialled about six weeks ago getting ready for a heat of the Creswick Series and he trialled terrific, but he pulled up a bit scratchy in his foot again so we've just tried to do the right thing by the horse and hope he does the right thing by us," Kent said.

Kent said there could be some nice races for the rising four-year-old early in the spring if he keeps progressing.

Craig Williams, who got back to within two wins of Dwayne Dunn in the Melbourne premiership after Dunn had won two earlier races on Saturday, was able to get Supido into a position to track Rough Justice down the straight.

He then got Supido into the clear when it mattered and Supido put the race away in the last 200m.

Williams labelled Supido a high-quality horse.

"Obviously the stable has had to juggle a few little issues with him, but he delivered what I was hoping he would," Williams said.
