CASA LEGEND

Four weeks ago, this horse performed poorly in a Happy Valley mile race, tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a strong finish. Returning to Sha Tin over 1600m now with a two-pound weight reduction, having previously secured two wins at this distance and showing good sectionals, he's drawn an advantageous inside barrier and appears well positioned. He’s considered a solid contender in this race, with Matthew Poon taking the ride; horse and jockey have a good rapport. Despite potentially settling towards the rear, his finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals, and trainer-jockey combination isn’t ideal, making him a risky pick.
