Race to put down again (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relay

This clue is a double definition.

'race' is the first definition.
(relay race)

'put down again' is the second definition.
('lay' can be a synonym for 'put down' so perhaps 'relay' is OK for 'put down again')

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for relay that I've seen before include "Pass on - put down again" , "article in bank" , "track event" , "Team of workers" , "supplementary store of anything" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
