Gavin Brouder is Circus Act's regular partner, having ridden it in 18 races for a single victory together — a 6% win rate that reflects the broader pattern: when this horse is good, it is only moderately good, and consistency remains elusive. Trainer J P Dempsey, based at Carbury in County Kildare, continues to campaign the horse, and while the yard itself has been in decent form this season with 16 winners sent out, Circus Act has not been one of the success stories. The horse does show a marked preference for normal ground conditions, winning 2 of 16 races on that surface — a 12% win rate — which suggests that soft or firm extremes work against it. Recent form has been uninspiring: in its last six outings it has finished ninth, 14th, ninth, seventh, fourth, and fifth, with that fourth-place finish the closest it has come to a winner's enclosure in some time. The horse raced just yesterday, so it remains active and in regular work, though at this stage of its career Circus Act looks like a horse that will have to work hard to rediscover the form that produced those two wins.
