What makes Eye Of A Tiger interesting right now is its recent run of form. In its last six races, it finished fourth, sixth, ninth, placed, first, and then fifteenth — that last one coming just a day ago. That most recent run looks like a dip after the high of the Ballinrobe win, but the consistency of places before that shows a horse that belongs in the middle of the action. John Patrick Ryan, the trainer based at Templemore in County Tipperary, runs a yard that has sent out 21 winners already this season, so Eye Of A Tiger is in a stable that knows how to time a run properly.
The real story here is that Ballinrobe win last week. Coming at a track where the horse has tasted success before, it proved this is not a horse waiting for luck — it is one that can deliver when conditions align. With two wins from sixteen races, Eye Of A Tiger will never be the flashy performer, but it is exactly the kind of horse that repays patient punters who spot when it is ready to strike again.
