CAPITAL LEGEND

Three weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over a Happy Valley 1800m, with a slow start but finishing well, showing strong momentum towards the end and losing by two and a half lengths for eighth place. A subsequent trial over Sha Tin’s 1400m sees it enter this race with a one-pound weight reduction. The competition in its group appears weak, though it lacked a strong finishing kick last time. While not ideally positioned, the horse has the ability to track the leaders and maintain pace; a clean break is crucial for it to settle into a good following position.
