Palmeira
Palmeira is a three-year-old still searching for a breakthrough. The horse has lined up 16 times without a win, though it has finished in the top 3 on four occasions—enough to show it belongs in races but not quite enough to get across the line. Most recently, it finished ninth, then eighth, then fifth, fifth, fifth, and sixth in its last six runs, suggesting a horse that can run respectably but struggles to put together the kind of form that wins races.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Denis Gerard Hogan at Cloughjordan in County Tipperary, Palmeira has been ridden most often by Charles Bishop, who has partnered it eight times without a win. The yard itself is in good form this season with 54 winners, so there is no shortage of know-how or resource. But at the top level—Class 1 races—Palmeira has managed four runs without winning, which hints that it may be operating at or slightly above its natural level. With no wins from 16 races and no sign of a breakthrough in the last six outings, this is a horse that might benefit from stepping down in class, where it could find races within its reach. It races frequently and was out again just a day ago, so the yard clearly believe there is more to come.
