The recent form makes for interesting reading. A second place is tucked in there among the last six runs, which shows the ability is present, but results of 6th, 9th and 10th suggest some inconsistency too. She raced just one day ago, so she is very much in the thick of her campaign right now, with the yard clearly keen to keep her busy and find that elusive first win.
She is trained by Padraig Roche at Coolaghknock Glebe in County Kildare, a yard that has sent out 7 winners already this season. That is a useful benchmark — Roche clearly knows how to get a horse ready to win, which means the tools and the expertise are there. The question for Malikanna is simply finding the right opportunity to put it all together. At five, she is not young, but she is not old either, and there is no reason to think that first win is not coming. For now, she is one of those horses where you watch with a mix of sympathy and quiet optimism — talented enough to place, searching for the moment everything clicks.
