Manatee Mehmas
Manatee Mehmas is a three-year-old still searching for a second win after a breakthrough on the all-weather surface at Doncaster four months ago. That victory on 25 April came at the end of an uncertain start to racing, but the horse has struggled to build on it since. Of the six races since that win, Manatee Mehmas has finished second twice — most recently — but has otherwise drifted back into mid-field finishes. The form reads 10-2-4-3-8-4, which tells you the horse was beaten more than thirty lengths when last out, just a day ago.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
It is worth noting that David O'Meara's Upper Helmsley yard has had a tremendous season with 101 winners, so there is genuine talent around Manatee Mehmas. The yard clearly believes in the horse — to have kept it in work through this run without a win suggests they see something worth persisting with. A win rate of roughly 1 in 7 races is nothing special for a three-year-old stepping up in grade, but the two places in recent form hint that the horse can still compete when conditions suit. For now, Manatee Mehmas remains a work in progress — a horse that has shown enough to race on, but which needs to rediscover the form that brought that Doncaster breakthrough.
