Oust
Oust has yet to find the winner's enclosure after nine outings, but the 3-year-old's recent form suggests the breakthrough might not be far away. The horse has picked up two places from its races so far—a respectable return for a young animal still learning the game—and there are encouraging signs in how it has been running. In its last six races, Oust has finished second, third, sixth, seventh, and thirteenth, with just a solitary fifth-place finish at the bottom of the card. That second-place finish in particular shows the horse has the ability to get close when conditions suit.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by Josh Halley at his Fethard yard in County Tipperary, Oust is part of a small but active stable. Halley's yard has already sent out two winners this season, so there is genuine winning form in the operation. The trainer appears to be plotting a careful path for his young charge, keeping Oust racing regularly—it ran just a day ago—which suggests confidence that the horse is progressing. With two placings from nine races and recent form that includes a second-place effort, Oust looks like a horse that knows how to run competitively, even if it hasn't yet managed to cross the line first. Patience may well be rewarded.
