Kohana Nation
Kohana Nation is a three-year-old with a workmanlike record and the kind of consistency that suggests more wins are coming. The horse has notched one victory and four places from six races — a 17% win rate that masks a better picture: in races at its preferred distance of five to six and a half furlongs, Kohana Nation has won one of four (25%), which is genuinely respectable. That sole win came at Doncaster back in early August, and while the horse hasn't returned to the winner's circle in the two months since, the recent form is encouraging. A third-place finish last time out, followed by a place the race before that, suggests the horse is running into form again after a couple of wider efforts.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Charles Hills, who trains Kohana Nation at his Lambourn yard, has been prolific this season with 29 winners already, and he clearly knows how to place his charges where they can prosper. The key to unlocking more wins with this three-year-old will be sticking to the distance sweet spot — anything from five furlongs up to a mile and a quarter — where the horse is genuinely competitive. At present, Kohana Nation looks like a solid, reliable sort that will pick up another race or two before the season's out, and at three years old, there is still time for improvement as it learns its trade.
