Rokanako
Rokanako has taken his time to get going, but he finally broke through with a win at Kilbeggan on 31 May after six attempts. At five years old, he is well into his career now, and that single victory from seven races — roughly one win in every seven outings — tells you he is not a horse built for the very top level. What is more encouraging, though, is his consistency. Look at his last six runs and you see second, fifth, second, second, fourth, then that win. Three of those four most recent finishes before the breakthrough were placed efforts, suggesting he was getting better at his trade and that first win was not a fluke but the result of gradual improvement.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Edward F Power at Ballycahill near Thurles, Rokanako runs for a yard that has found its form this season with five winners already. Just two days ago he was racing again — a sign that the yard believe he is ready to capitalize on that breakthrough and hunt for more wins. Whether he can string together another victory soon will tell us whether Kilbeggan has lit a genuine spark or whether that May triumph was simply a rare good day. For a five-year-old horse with his record, finding a winning formula matters; another run or two will show whether Power has genuinely unlocked something.
