The overall picture is mixed but encouraging. Cocofred has won 2 of 6 races total, a win rate of roughly 1 in 3, and has placed twice more, meaning it finishes in the first three more often than not. The recent form reads 1-9-1-4-7-5 (most recent first), which tells the real story: a win at Killarney last week, followed by a ninth-place finish before that, but a strong third place earlier and two fourths or better in earlier runs. This is a horse that has found its level and is winning when it matters.
The first win came at Roscommon back in July, but the key is what has happened since. Two wins in six races over recent weeks, including one at Killarney this week, suggests Cocofred is improving or has found the right races. For a five-year-old, consistency at this level — winning roughly every third time out — is respectable. De Bromhead clearly thinks the horse is worth running frequently, and the results back that up. This is a horse worth watching.
