David Payne's winning momentum with two-year-olds has continued at Canterbury with the prospect of more to come over the next few days.

Freshened since his maiden win at Gosford on May 7, Winter King was sent out at $4 and gave his supporters little cause for concern, leading all the way to take out Tuesday's Freeway Republic Beer Handicap (1100m).

The colt carried 59kg topweight on the slow track which was later downgraded to heavy after persistent rain.

"It was a good effort," Payne said.

"He's always had the ability and plenty of it but he's been a bit of a slow learner.

"There are more wins down the track for him."

Winter King held off Icedginger by two lengths with Lucky Emo another 2-3/4 lengths third.

Winter King is raced by Les Samba and Roy Medich whose colours will be on display again at Warwick Farm on Wednesday when Flaming Rock runs in the Randwick Betting Auditorium Handicap (1400m).

By Fastnet Rock, Flaming Rock will be making his debut but Payne is unsure how he will handle a wet track.

"The wet ground is a bit of a question mark but hopefully he can go well," Payne said.

A rain affected surface at Randwick on Saturday will present no problems for More Than Great, an impressive winner on a heavy Canterbury track at his debut earlier this month.

"He is by More Than Ready and they seem to handle all types of ground," Payne said.

"He still has a lot of growing to do and he is going to furnish into a really nice three-year-old."

Payne is not quite sure how many two-year-old races he has won this season but believes he has had around eight individual juvenile winners.

Jim and Greg Lee finally had something to smile about at the Canterbury meeting with Budabar winning the Ruse Tavern Handicap (1250m).

The brothers, who train in partnership at Randwick, have recently found themselves $25,000 out of pocket following positive swabs to two of their horses.

The closely related offences were the first for the Lees in careers spanning four decades.

"If we win another 15 of these we might be able to pay the fines," Greg Lee said.

"I had something on him and that also helped."

Budabar started at $5 and was ridden hard to the line by Chris Munce to beat Apache Crown by a short head.
