GEOGRAPHY TEACHER looks worth sticking with in his current form. He beat Caesonia over three lengths over track and trip last time with Crazy Spin further behind and had the measure of Maykir when runner-up here before that. Crazy Spin ran into trouble behind the selection and may finish closer today but Compass Point looks a bigger threat despite struggling at Kempton recently as he won with a bit to spare over over course and distance earlier last month.
