Shing Shang Lily
Five races in, and Shing Shang Lily is still looking for that first win. The five-year-old has managed one placed finish from her five outings — a third — but has otherwise struggled to get involved at the sharp end, finishing fifth on three occasions and seventh on another. A win rate of zero from five races is honest rather than encouraging, and there is work to do before she becomes a horse punters will be rushing to back.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That said, she is trained by Cian Collins at his yard in Navan, Co Meath, and the operation is clearly in decent health — 20 winners sent out already this season is a solid body of work, suggesting Collins knows how to find the right race for the right horse. The question is whether he can find the right opportunity to unlock something in Shing Shang Lily, who raced just a day ago and remains in active training.
At five years old, she is not short of time, and Collins will have seen enough of her to know where her best chances lie. One place from five races is a modest return, but it does at least show she can get close enough to the pace to finish in the frame. Whether that translates into a win sooner rather than later is the key question — and for now, patience is probably the word around this particular horse.
