FUN ELITE

Three weeks ago, the horse showed decent form in a 1200m dirt trial, though it was slow to get going and settled towards the rear. Returning to Happy Valley over 1200m, he failed in all six starts with no outstanding time figures and an unfavorable setup. The connection between jockey and trainer does not appear particularly well-aligned, though his finishing kick remains second to none in the field and he receives an eight-pound weight reduction this time, but opportunities are limited.
