JUMBO LEGEND

Fourteen days ago, over this same distance, the horse performed well, settling towards the rear and maintaining a consistent pace throughout. It finished fourth, beaten by half a length in a narrow defeat, demonstrating good ability. Returning from a break, it has proven form over this course and distance with respectable time figures. Its finishing kick is the strongest in its group. The trainer and jockey are working well together and the horse continues to improve in condition. Despite needing to carry 15 pounds more this time – a clear disadvantage – it's still considered a strong contender.
