Movin And Groovin
Movin And Groovin is a four-year-old who has found her niche at Dundalk. The horse has won twice from nineteen races—a modest record on paper, but both victories have come at the same track, suggesting she genuinely enjoys it there. Her two wins came on 10 January and most recently on 12 July, three months ago, so she knows how to get the job done when conditions and circumstances align.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse runs best on normal ground rather than anything too testing, and distances between a mile and one-sixteenth and a mile-and-two-furlongs suit her. Trainer David Marnane's yard at Bansha has been in good form this season, and Movin And Groovin remains active, having raced just a day ago. Her recent runs show the kind of up-and-down form typical of a mid-range performer—a third-place finish followed by seventh, third again, a fifth, then seventh once more—but the earlier success at Dundalk proves she is capable of winning races. The partnership with regular jockey Rory Cleary has yet to produce a victory from five attempts together, which might suggest a change could help, or simply that the right race at the right track has not quite come round again since July.
