Sheer Raz
Nine races into its career, Sheer Raz is still waiting for a first win. The six-year-old has managed two placed finishes across those nine outings but has never crossed the line in front, and its last six races have produced nothing better than a third — the most recent of those just a day ago, so this is a horse firmly in the thick of its season.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by Gavin Cromwell out of Navan in County Meath, Sheer Raz at least finds itself in capable hands. Cromwell's yard has sent out 97 winners this season alone, which speaks to an operation that knows how to get horses winning. The frustrating part for the team is that Sheer Raz hasn't been one of them. Finishing third twice in its last six suggests the talent to compete, but there's a meaningful gap between placing and winning, and at six years old the window for a breakthrough isn't endless.
The recent run of form — a seventh, two thirds, a fifth, another fifth, and a blank — doesn't point toward a horse about to turn a corner. Whether Cromwell's team can find the right spot to finally get Sheer Raz its head in front remains the open question.
