Saint Agatha

The recent form reading 3-8-2 (most recent first) is a little uneven. The latest run, a second place, suggests things are moving in the right direction, though the middle outing — finishing eighth — was a step backwards. Whether that was an off day, a track that didn't suit, or simply part of the learning curve young horses go through is hard to say from the numbers alone. What matters is that the most recent run ended with a placing, which gives trainer J.A. Stack something to build on.

Stack operates out of Golden in County Tipperary, and the yard has hit the ground running this season with 13 winners already on the board. That's a stable in decent form, which means Saint Agatha is at least being prepared by a team that knows how to get horses ready to race. A first win may not be far away.
