Caffu Zafeen

Caffu Zafeen has come alive in the past fortnight, winning three races in a row and looking like a horse finally hitting form after a season of frustration. The five-year-old won at Fairyhouse back in September, then went quiet for weeks before rattling off victories at Dundalk on October 2nd and two more in between — the kind of streak that turns a modest record into something genuinely worth watching.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The numbers tell the story: Caffu Zafeen has won 3 of its last 6 races, which is a far cry from its overall career record of 3 wins from 19 starts (roughly 1 in every 6 races). Paul W Flynn's yard at Colehill has found the right level for this horse, because wherever Caffu Zafeen has raced at Class 4 — the top tier — it has come away empty. The real form is lower down, where it has clicked. On normal ground it is a completely different proposition: 2 wins from 5 races (40%), which suggests this is the horse's sweet spot — decent conditions, races within its level, and away from the heavyweight opposition. With three consecutive wins now in the bag and just one day since its last outing, Caffu Zafeen is either being kept busy to maintain momentum or will need a breather soon. Either way, it is the hottest form in the Flynn yard right now, and if it can hold this streak, there could be more wins to come before the year is out.
