Fully Funded is making excellent progress toward the Gr.1 Sistema Railway (1200m) at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day.

“I couldn’t be happier with him,” trainer Joanne Surgenor said. “I’ll probably give him a trial or a jump-out before the Railway.”

Fully Funded had three trials before he successfully resumed in the Listed Counties Bowl (1100m) at Pukekohe where he beat Go Nicholas and Heroic Valour.
