PANDA LEGEND

Two weeks ago, this horse ran well over the same distance, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and making a strong effort mid-race. He finished fourth with a decent run, beaten only half a length. This time he carries no additional weight, has proven form at this distance, and boasts competitive times within his group. Drawing an advantageous inside barrier, trainer and jockey have confidence in each other. While a hold-up strategy is anticipated, the finishing kick may not be strong enough to compete with rivals; overall shape isn’t ideal but still capable of winning."
