Last Verse
Last Verse is a three-year-old still finding his feet, but there are genuine signs of a horse beginning to work out what racing is about. He has won 2 of his last 6 races — a respectable run of form — and his career record of 2 wins from 10 races, while modest, masks something more encouraging: he is clearly improving. His first win came at Chepstow in early July, and he has now added a second victory at Lingfield Park six weeks ago, suggesting he is learning how to finish races.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes Last Verse interesting is where he excels. Over longer distances — anything from a mile and six furlongs to two miles — he has won 2 of his 5 races, which is a win rate of 40 percent. That is a significant pattern. It suggests he is a horse that needs space to settle and run, not one suited to quick two-mile dashes. Joseph Parr's Newmarket yard has been sending out winners steadily this season, and Last Verse appears to be a genuine prospect for the stable. He raced just a day ago, which means he is fit and active; his last six runs show he can place regularly (he has finished in the top three in four of those six races), even when he has not won. For a three-year-old still learning the ropes, that kind of consistency is the foundation on which better things are built.
