Verdict

ALWAYS MY FOLKS (2) won well two back at this track and trip before jumping favourite over 6f last start and missing by 0.5L. Back to the scene of the crime now suits and he has enough early speed to work across from the wide alley. Can bounce back to winning ways. SPICY SPANGLE (10) led them up here 49 days ago but couldn't hold on when missing out by 1.8L at his most recent outing. That form has worked out well with two winners from 5 subsequent runners since. He's a speedy customer who will give a bold sight. COUNTRY DANCER (1) comes to Happy Valley after a couple of strong runs at Sha Tin most recently. He'll need a touch of luck from the barrier, but his recent form stacks right up and he can make his presence felt. SOLAR RIVER (5) never fired over further last start and this presents as a different scenario all together. Can improve on recent form.
