SO MY FOLKS

Two weeks ago, this horse delivered a poor performance in a straight course race, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with an even pace but failing to show any acceleration. He was comprehensively defeated. On his debut on dirt over 1200m, he benefits from a two-pound weight reduction this time, though the distance is not ideal and the barrier draw is unfavorable. Fortunately, he possesses good early speed; a clean break and an assertive forward run are key to improving his chances.
