Emma's Letter
Emma's Letter is a 3-year-old who appears to be hitting her stride. She has won three of her twelve career races—a respectable 25% win rate—and just picked up a win at Newmarket this week, suggesting she is currently in form. Her last six races tell a mixed story: a win, then a third, another win, a ninth-place finish, a third, and a fourth. So while she has had a poor run recently, that latest victory at Newmarket on 21 August should give her the yard some encouragement.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The standout thing about Emma's Letter is her love of fast, dry ground. On such conditions she has won 2 of her 4 races, a 50% win rate—double her overall average. That is a genuine preference, the kind of information worth remembering. She also shows a clear preference for distances between one mile and three furlongs and one mile and four furlongs, where she has won 2 of 5 races. At Class 5 level—roughly mid-tier races—she has won just 1 of 5, so she struggles when the field tightens up.
Ed Dunlop's Newmarket yard has sent out 39 winners this season, so Emma's Letter is part of a productive operation. That win at Newcastle back in November last year marked her first career success, and the fact that she has managed two wins in her last six outings suggests she has settled into racing and knows how to get the job done when conditions suit her. With dry ground forecast and a distance in her wheelhouse, she could well add to her tally before long.
