Miss Mambo

Her recent form tells a familiar story: a second-place finish just six days ago, then a sixth last time out before that, followed by a seventh. The highs and lows suggest inconsistency, though the second-place result is a reminder that she can be competitive on her day. She was racing only yesterday, so she is clearly being kept active and given chances to break through, which is what her trainer Gay Kelleway's yard at Exning in Suffolk typically does with their horses. The yard itself has only sent out 2 winners this season, so there is no obvious pattern of unstoppable form to point to — Kelleway is working with what she has, and Miss Mambo remains a work in progress. At three years old she still has time to develop, though nine races without a win is starting to suggest she may be heading towards the middle ranks of racing rather than the sharp end.
