On Target is a two-year-old still hunting for its first win after four races without a placing. The horse has not found the winner's circle yet, though recent form shows some improvement: a sixth-place finish was followed by consecutive fourth-place runs, then a ninth last time out. With
George Scott's Newmarket yard in fine form this season—the trainer has already sent out 52 winners—there is clearly belief in the horse's potential. The fact that On Target was back on the track just a day ago suggests the team is keeping it active and racing regularly, a common approach with young horses still finding their feet. Whether this represents a temporary blip in a horse with long-term prospects, or a sign that On Target needs time to develop, will become clearer over the coming weeks and months.
