Cuban Girl
Cuban Girl broke through after a long wait when she won at Brighton on 9 June 2025, but that victory now sits 16 months in the past. The 4-year-old has raced 15 times for just the one win and four places — a win rate of roughly one in every 14 races — and has not found the frame since that single success. She remains active, running as recently as yesterday, but the form book tells a story of a horse struggling to recapture that one bright moment.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The clue to Cuban Girl's best chance lies in distance and company. Over her favoured 7 furlongs to a mile, she has won one of seven races, which is a much healthier 14 percent return. At the lower Class 5 level where she typically competes, she boasts the same one win from seven races. The difficulty is putting those strengths together: on the evidence so far, Cuban Girl finds the midfield regularly but rarely wins. Her recent six-race sequence — 14th, 8th, 4th, 5th, 2nd, 10th — shows glimpses of form (that second-place finish is encouraging) but no return to the winner's circle. Trainer Brian Toomey's Chalfont St Giles yard is having a decent season with 10 winners so far, but Cuban Girl has not been among them this year.
