Givehertilxmas
Givehertilxmas has found her form at exactly the right time. The 4-year-old mare won at The Curragh just this week, her second victory in her last six races, and she raced again yesterday — so she is clearly in work and fighting fit. Over 15 career races, she has won twice and finished in the top 3 five times, a modest return that masks a recent upturn in performance. Those two wins, both this autumn, came within a fortnight of each other: first at Bellewstown on 30 September, then at The Curragh on 15 October.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What is striking about her recent record is the consistency. In her last six races she has finished 1st, 1st, 5th, 2nd, 3rd, and 11th — so four top-3 finishes in six runs is a genuine pattern, not a fluke. Gerard Keane, who trains her from his Trim yard in County Meath, has a productive operation; he has already sent out 10 winners this season. Givehertilxmas may win once in every eight races overall, but right now she is picking up victories and proving that racing sharp and regularly can suit her. Whether she can sustain that form remains to be seen, but for a 4-year-old mare who was struggling early in her career, finding her feet in October and staying active is a positive sign.
