Stay On Tab

The recent form tells a story of gradual improvement. After a poor run seven races ago, Stay On Tab has finished third most recently, then sixth, seventh, sixth again, fifth, and finally that winning performance at Hamilton Park just days ago. That last-race victory shows the horse has the ability to deliver when it counts. Jardine's yard is a powerhouse operation, having saddled 57 winners already this season, so the horse is in the hands of someone who knows how to develop young talent. Whether Stay On Tab can string wins together or has simply posted a one-off success remains to be seen, but this first victory on its home circuit at Hamilton Park is a proper step forward for a horse still learning its trade.
