The recent form makes for interesting reading: two seconds and two thirds mixed in among the last six outings, with a sixth on the most recent run 88 days ago. That short break may have been exactly what was needed after a busy spell, and horses that place as consistently as this one often find a way to win once the pieces fall into place.
What works heavily in Wackestone's favour is who has the horse in their corner. Gordon Elliott's yard at Longwood in County Meath is one of the most powerful operations in Irish racing, and this season alone they have sent out 209 winners — that is not a yard that keeps untalented horses around for fun. When a stable of that size and quality continues to run a horse that hasn't won yet, it usually means they see ability worth persevering with. For Wackestone, getting off the mark would be entirely in keeping with what the team clearly believe is there.
