Bondi

Trained by Declan Carroll's yard in Malton, North Yorkshire, Bondi broke through at Windsor on 23 June 2025, then added a second win at Newmarket on 22 August that same year. That Newmarket victory was 14 months ago, which means the horse has been chasing that form for some time. Recent efforts have yielded little, with a run of six races producing only one placing — a 7th, 8th, 7th, 6th, 8th, and a 1st — suggesting either a dip in form or that the horse has been sent to unsuitable conditions. The sole bright spot came just a day ago in whatever that race was, a reminder that Bondi can still find the winner's enclosure. Distance-wise, the horse shows promise at the longer end of the middle range, specifically 1 mile 3 furlongs to 1 mile 4 furlongs, winning one of three races at that trip. At the lower levels where Bondi typically races, it wins roughly one in five, which is respectable without being outstanding. The key to getting more from this horse is straightforward: dry ground, the right trip, and patience to wait for conditions to align.
