Conveyance gets round in racket (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boat

'conveyance' is the definition.
(boat is a kind of conveyance)

'round in racket' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'racket' becomes 'bat' (bat is a kind of racket).
'o' put inside 'bat' is 'BOAT'.

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for boat that I've seen before include "See 1" , "Water craft" , "Small ship" , "See 18" , "See 12 Down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
