ALWAYS MY FOLKSOn October 13th, the horse completed an 800m turf trial at Conghua, recording sections of 8-8-3 despite a difficult start and demonstrated good responsiveness. Seven weeks ago, in a Happy Valley 1200m race, the performance was disappointing; it led comfortably with a steady pace but lacked a strong finishing kick, finishing sixth beaten three lengths. A subsequent barrier trial showed moderate form. Returning to racing, this horse switches to a Happy Valley sprint for its first attempt at this distance. It will carry an additional 17 pounds this time and the distance should suit. Drawn well, it is expected to track the pace and has a favorable position. Compared to other contenders, it possesses a higher level of ability, with good synergy between trainer and jockey. A clean break is crucial for a forward run and contention for a top placing.
