Coedana

What's encouraging about Coedana right now is the recent form. After winning at Newmarket just three weeks ago, the horse has raced twice since and finished second and third respectively, proving it's holding its own against sharp competition. Over the last six races, it's won two and finished in the top 3 four times — that's genuine sharpness and consistency in an active spell. The horse clearly likes normal, dry ground: it has won 2 of 4 races on those conditions, a 50% win rate that stands out. When Coedana found the ideal surface, it has delivered.

Stepping up in class has been tougher. In higher-level company — Class 5 races — the horse has won just 1 of 5 attempts, suggesting it does better against slightly less demanding fields. But this is still a horse in form, racing regularly and still winning. At four years old, it's in the prime years and clearly has more to offer.
