Estissa

The recent form tells a story of a horse capable of competing at a decent level. Over the last six races, there have been three placings alongside the two wins, which means Estissa has finished in the frame 5 times from 6 outings. That is strong consistency, even if the most recent run three days ago ended in third place. Ground conditions matter too, and this is a horse that likes racing on normal ground: it has won two of four races on standard conditions, a 50 per cent win rate that suggests the going suits its running style. The pattern emerging is of a solid, mid-level performer who knows how to win when the circumstances align — the right track, the right conditions, a race within its reach. At three years old with two wins already on the board and a recent victory, Estissa has plenty of racing ahead and looks well-placed to add to that tally.
