I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is best' is the definition.
(elite can mean the very best of a group)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for elite that I've seen before include "Creme de la creme" , "A privileged class of people" , "Group enjoying superior status" , "First-class" , "Cream, the pick" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
