Midnight Thunder

The recent form tells a story of inconsistency. Over the last six races, Midnight Thunder has managed two wins—including that victory 1 day ago—but also three fifth-place finishes sandwiched around 11th, 9th, and 4th place efforts. This is a horse that can still find the line when conditions suit it, but long stretches of mid-field running suggest the consistency needed for sustained success at the track remains elusive. Trainer Saeed bin Suroor, based at Newmarket, has the horse in a stable that has produced 15 winners already this season, so there is proven expertise in the yard. For Midnight Thunder to become a genuinely profitable proposition, those winning touches will need to come more regularly than once every twenty months.
