Slack Alice
Slack Alice is a five-year-old who has found her feet over the longer distances, where she wins roughly one in every five races. Her career record of 2 wins and 6 places from 19 races tells the story of a horse who is more likely to run well than to win — she finishes in the money about 42% of the time — but when the trips stretch beyond two miles, something clicks. Over those extended journeys she has won 2 of 11 races, a win rate that stands out against her overall 11% win rate. Her last victory came at Stratford-on-Avon five weeks ago, so she is still capable of finding the winner's circle relatively recently.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Based at Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire with trainer Mickey Bowen, Slack Alice runs in a yard that has been productive this season, sending out 52 winners. Her recent form is mixed. In her last six races she has won twice and placed three times, but also suffered a well-beaten eighth-place finish most recently — just one day ago. This suggests she remains an active, regularly raced horse, though clearly without the consistency that would mark her out as a reliable bet. She typically competes in Class 5 races, the lower tiers of racing, where curiously she has yet to record a victory in five attempts. Her wins have come at more modest contests, which squares with a horse of moderate ability finding success at the right level over the right distance.
