🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Her recent form tells the story of a horse still searching for her level. In her last six races, she has been out of the frame more often than not, though she does have a second place from two weeks ago and a third from earlier this month to show she has glimpses of form. She raced just yesterday, suggesting David Harry Kelly's yard at Rathvin in Co Tipperary is keeping her active and looking for opportunities. The trainer has sent out thirteen winners already this season, so there is a working yard behind her. Ballinrobe appears to suit Princess Felicia — it is where she has found both her place and her only victory — and at seven years old, she is still capable of winning more races if she can string together a better run of form. For now, she remains a horse with untapped potential rather than a reliable bet, but not yet a lost cause.
