Nine of these are course and distance winners with ELZAAM BLUE having scored on both starts, the latest a handicap for which he has a 7lb rise for beating Adapt To Dan with Zahee, Skontonovski and Tyrconnell behind. Giuseppe Cassioli, twice an all-weather winner in the UK, made a winning start for new connections over 7f where he stayed on strongly. Super Over, another UK winner, should be ready to score soon for new connections judging by last month's run when beaten a short-head by Punk Poet.
