Better religious class seen in Tyrrhenian location (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

capri

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

'in tyrrhenian location' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'better religious class' is the wordplay.
'better' becomes 'cap' (both can mean to beat somebody else's attempt).
'religious class' becomes 'ri' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'cap'+'ri'='CAPRI'

'seen' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for capri that I've seen before include "Tourist destination" , "Romantic and expensive island in Bay of Naples" , "Location for holiday" , "found in Tyrrhenian location" , "Island in the Gulf of Naples" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
