Musashi

The most recent form tells the story of a horse still knocking on the door. In the last six races, Musashi has been placed twice—finishing second twice—but has also had some forgettable days, including a ninth-place and an eleventh-place finish. Last time out, just a day ago, the horse ran eleventh, suggesting it's still searching for consistency. Those two second-place finishes are close enough to suggest there's a runner in there somewhere, but the gaps between them and the poor efforts tell you this is a horse that hasn't yet worked out what it needs to do to win.

Musashi runs for David Evans's yard at Pandy in Monmouthshire, a stable that has sent out 37 winners this season, so there's solid training behind the horse. Whether Musashi will be the next to break through for the yard remains to be seen, but at three years old, there is still time for the horse to figure things out.
