Having justified his trainer's faith with a long-awaited win in Tasmania last month, enigmatic galloper Under The Eiffel answered some pointed questions with another at Caulfield on Saturday.

"I've made a lot of excuses for him over the past year or so," said trainer Tony Vasil.

"And a lot of unsavoury things were said about him.

"But he's answered his critics now and we can look ahead."

Under The Eiffel's second successive win came in the Sky High Mt Dandenong Handicap (1400m), surprising Vasil and most others on track.

"I though he'd been beaten for sure," he said.

"I'd have happily copped a dead-heat."

While compliments for Under The Eiffel had become rare, there weren't too many from the owners who paid $40,000 for him and who have since collected more than $500,000 from his racetrack efforts.

Under The Eiffel, favourite at $3.70, took the lead at the 300m, lost it 50m from the line and stole it back in the last stride to beat British General ($4.60) by a nose.

The imported stayer Garud ($5.50) made good ground to finish third.

The win also compensated Vasil for the defeat of short-priced favourite Elite Elle in the Charter Keck Cramer Handicap (1100m).

"I thought she was a certainty," Vasil said.

Elite Elle ($2.70) finished second, a half length behind Sharnee Rose ($5) with Platelet ($5.50) 1-1/2 lengths further back in third.
