Stoneacre Joe

The recent form tells a story of a horse trying hard but not quite clicking: a second-place finish three races ago, then a fourth, a fourth again, a fifth, and a fourth more recently. Most telling is that streak of four races without a place in the last six outings, which suggests Stoneacre Joe may be finding things tough at the moment. Still, that second-place result shows the horse is capable of getting close, and at three years old there is time for improvement. What matters now is whether Easterby can find the right race and conditions to finally break the duck.
