ELUSIF returned to winning ways at Kempton a week ago. He’s perfectly capable of going in again given Conrad Allen’s charge landed a hat-trick early last year. Gonzaga was placed yet again when second here ahead of Knockout Blow and a below par Axel Jacklin though the latter is not out of this if back to his best while Aiguillette ended last year with a couple of better efforts over today’s trip though has a habit of finding one too good.
