Verdict
Elusive In Paris has been going well on Polytrack and reverted to Turf at Killarney with a convincing victory. He's gone up 6lb but has won from higher marks in the past. However, Zorba The Greek was conceding him 17lb when beaten a short-head at Dundalk last month and is 7lb better off so should reverse the form. Fast On is held on that Killarney run but SNAP CLICK (NAP) went there last week with what looked a favourite's chance though the gaps didn't appear at a crucial time and he was beaten in a photo-finish. Compensation awaits here though Kevin Manning, who rode him, is claimed for Jim Bolger's lightly-raced Pirolo, who showed his first sign of form on his handicap debut at Dundalk in January.
