Charmaine

The most interesting thing about her is what happens when she arrives at Kempton Park. Two wins from 4 races there is a remarkable record — winning half your races at any single track is the kind of consistency that's very hard to fake. Her first win came at Kempton in September 2024, and she went back and did it again there as recently as 5 May 2025. Some horses just click with a particular track's layout, and Kempton clearly suits her.

She also has a clear preference for wet or muddy ground, winning 2 of her 5 races in those conditions — a 40% win rate that stands well above her overall average. That's a meaningful edge. When the ground is soft and the track is Kempton, Charmaine becomes a very different proposition to the horse who finished sixth on one of her recent starts.

Speaking of recent form — she hasn't won in her last 6 races, though the sequence reads 2-6-2-3-3-2, meaning she has been placed in five of those six. She's not running badly; she's just not quite getting her nose in front. Her most regular partner, jockey Daniel Muscutt, has ridden her nine times and won twice — roughly 1 in every 4.5 races together, which is a solid partnership worth noting.

Charmaine races predominantly at Class 4 level, which is a solid middle tier rather than the very top of the sport, and her 3 wins from 7 races at that level — a 43% win rate — tells you she belongs there and competes well. She raced just yesterday, so she's in the thick of an active campaign. With soft ground and a Kempton entry on the horizon, she could easily make that winning feeling familiar again very soon.
