Tero d'Rosa

The recent form is revealing: a 16th place finish most recently, then a second, then sixth, fourth, and another sixth before that. That second-place finish shows some life is still there, but a five-month wait between victories is telling. The horse runs best at around 1m1f to 1m2f — that middle distance where it has won one from eight starts, a 12% win rate at those trips — and yet even in races seemingly suited to its profile, it has struggled to deliver. Despite being currently active and having raced just a day ago, Tero d'Rosa looks like a horse that will need a considerable improvement in form to make any sort of mark. At this stage, it is a plodder doing what it does, which is mostly finishing outside the money.
