It took Zarkavon 32 attempts to open her account but she won a classified race here last time and the handicapper has taken a dim view raising her 12lb. She beat several of these on that occasion with SATCHVILLE FLYER and Jupiter filling the places and it’s the former that gets a token vote to reverse running on better terms. Elusif has done all his winning over shorter trips so far while the likes of Kybosh, Theydon Spirit, Maerchengarten and Mrs Benson have yet to win a race between them.
