Midnight Serenade is a three-year-old still searching for a breakthrough after one race without success. The horse finished fifth on its most recent outing just a day ago, suggesting the trainer is keen to get another opportunity in the ring quickly.
R Mike Smith, who trains from Galston in East Ayrshire, has had a solid season with 25 winners from his yard, so there is clearly competence in the operation. Whether Midnight Serenade will find the form to join that winning column remains to be seen, but the quick turnaround to another race suggests the trainer believes better is to come.
