FUN ELITE

Two weeks ago, this horse ran impressively in a straight course race, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear. He maintained a consistent pace throughout the run before making gradual progress at the finish to secure third place, beaten three and a half lengths – a solid performance. Returning to Happy Valley over 1200m with reasonable section times, he faces favorable conditions and has drawn an ideal barrier. Employing a hold-up tactic could see him deliver the strongest finishing kick in this field. The jockey understands the horse’s temperament well, and the trainer-jockey partnership remains effective. Despite five previous failures over this distance, he is still considered capable of contending for a place.
