FOREVER FOLKS

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear and finishing strongly to take third place, beaten by half a length. This time with a two-pound weight reduction, having previously secured two wins at this distance, and with comparable times in the group, drawing an inside barrier provides an advantageous position. Compared to its rivals, its ability stands out as superior within the field. The jockey has some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities, and trainer and owner share a strong understanding; morning trackwork shows improvement suggesting it can regain lost form.
