Silk Buds
Silk Buds is a 5-year-old still searching for that first win. The horse has run three times without visiting the winner's circle, though it has placed twice — most recently finishing third just a day ago. The most encouraging sign is that second-place finish in the middle of those three runs; it shows Silk Buds can get close to the front when conditions align.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Peter John Flood, Silk Buds is part of a small yard that has managed one winner so far this season. For a horse at this stage — five years old and without a win to its name — finding the right race at the right track will be crucial. Silk Buds is active and racing regularly, which suggests the trainer believes there is a winning performance in there somewhere. The recent third-place finish keeps that door open.
