The recent form tells a story of near-misses. In its last six races, Pebble Island has finished fourth, fourth, fourth, second, fourth, and ninth. That string of fourth-place finishes is notable — the horse keeps finding itself in contention but not quite getting there. The second-place finish suggests it can run with winners at times, but consistency has been the problem. A horse that finishes fourth three times in six races is running at a steady level without the spark needed to convert opportunities into victories.
John C McConnell's yard at Stamullen has been productive this season with 36 winners sent out, so the trainer has shown he can get horses to the line. Whether Pebble Island will be the one to finally break its duck remains to be seen. The horse raced just yesterday and is clearly still active in competition, which means there will be more chances ahead.
