Expert Dancer
Expert Dancer broke through at Limerick six weeks ago, landing a debut win that showed genuine promise, but has struggled to recapture that form since. The three-year-old has managed just one win from seven races overall — wins roughly one in every seven outings — but the recent runs tell a more encouraging story: a second place, a third, another third, and a third again suggest the horse is running into the placings regularly without quite getting back to the top step.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The pattern becomes clearer when you look at where Expert Dancer performs best. Over distances between seven furlongs and a mile, the horse has won one of four races, a 25 percent win rate that stands out sharply against the overall figures. Stretch the distance beyond that and the record flattens. Trainer Andrew Slattery, who runs a productive yard at Thurles in County Tipperary — 62 winners from the stable this season — knows where this horse wants to run.
There is a puzzle in the jockey line. Andrew Slattery has ridden Expert Dancer in all five of their races together without a win, a 0 percent record that contrasts with the one win that came with a different jockey. It is early days and the recent form shows the horse is competitive, but that statistic is worth watching as the horse continues racing.
