CASA LEGEND

Four weeks ago, this horse ran over a Sha Tin 1600m, performing decently despite a slow start and settling towards the back of the field. He finished strongly in the final two sections to secure fourth place, beaten by two and a half lengths – a respectable showing. A subsequent trial at Happy Valley over a mile, with a two-pound weight reduction, sees him potentially holding a similar tactical approach of settling behind. His finishing kick is expected to be among the strongest in this group, giving him an advantageous position. Compared to other contenders, he possesses a clear strength advantage; however, his final gallop work showed slower times and appeared labored.
