Paranjape

Recent runs paint a picture of a horse that has not quite caught fire since that November breakthrough. In its last six outings it has placed once (a third) and been out of the frame five times, finishing fifth, seventh, sixth, tenth, and fourth. There is nothing catastrophic in that sequence—the fourth came just yesterday, showing the horse is still active and trying—but it suggests a horse that is either struggling with inconsistency or has not yet found the right opportunity to win again. At the distances where it runs best, between five and six-and-a-half furlongs, it has won one from five races, a better win rate than overall. Paranjoke is trained by S Woods at Newmarket, where the yard has already sent out 24 winners this season, so it is in a competent operation. Whether this horse can string together the form to add another winner to that tally remains an open question.
