Marmeladova
Marmeladova is a five-year-old who has won just twice in fifteen races, but she is a horse who knows how to deliver when it matters. Both of her wins have come at Irish courses—first at Ballinrobe in May, then most recently at Leopardstown in mid-July—and she has picked up five places besides, suggesting she has the ability to run well consistently enough. That said, her win rate of roughly 1 in every 7 or 8 races means she is not a frequent visitor to the winner's enclosure, and eight weeks have passed since her last victory.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The real story in her record is what has happened since that Leopardstown win. Her last six races tell of a horse struggling to recapture form: she has finished down the field in four of them, with only a fifth-place finish at her most recent outing breaking what has been a difficult spell. This kind of losing run matters, especially when a horse was competitive enough to win just weeks earlier. It raises the question of whether she simply encountered tougher races, or whether something more fundamental shifted in her favour when she was winning at Ballinrobe and Leopardstown.
Marmeladova is trained by K J Condon at Rathbride in County Kildare, a yard that has sent out four winners already this season. The trainer will be hoping that her next run signals a return to the form that earned her those two wins, but right now she is a horse in need of a positive result.
