Carmel Valley
Five races in, and Carmel Valley is still searching for that first win. The three-year-old has managed just one placed finish from its five races so far, and recent form makes for sobering reading — finishing second, then seventh, sixth, seventh, and seventh in its last five outings. That solitary runner-up spot is the closest it has come to a victory, and at the moment the winning line feels like it is keeping its distance.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What works in Carmel Valley's favour is the company it is keeping. The horse ran just one day ago, so it is clearly fit and active, and being part of Katie Scott's yard in Galashiels means it is in capable hands. Scott is one of Scottish racing's more quietly impressive operators — her stable has sent out 17 winners already this season, which tells you this is a yard that knows how to get horses to perform. Sometimes a horse simply needs time, confidence, or the right opportunity, and being trained somewhere that is clearly producing results is no bad place to be while you wait for things to click.
For now, Carmel Valley is a horse whose moment has not yet arrived. But with an active campaign and a trainer in decent form, that first win is at least not out of the question.
