Most at this level find it difficult to run the same race twice but NINE ELMS has held his form over the winter and was only beaten a neck recently having won a claimer over track and trip before that. Star Ascending also scored here in January though never threatened the winner when third last time ahead of Quoteline Direct. Plansina’s earlier second came over a longer trip and she drops back down in class for this but both Compass Point and Splash Of Verve have failed to figure off higher marks since winning on the Polytrack.
