Estedaama to find progress in Lingfield Park Marriott Hotel & Country Club Handicap
It is always difficult for the racers to present a fine show after a long break, and Estedaama is the one aiming to do this job at Lingfield on Wednesday. The 3-year-old is returning from five months off, but still no one can underestimate her chances.
Ahead of going on a vacation, she recorded a couple of fantastic victories. She opened her account over 1m½f at Folkestone, where she notched up the first rank easily by two and a quarter lengths in the Claydon Horse Exercisers Maiden Stakes.
She continued her marvellous work over 1m4f, and beat the 100-30 favourite, Daneking, by a neck’s distance in the Sportingbet Stakes (Handicap) at York in May. The dual spring winner is in a great position to find further progress to improve her record.
A total of 10 horses have entered the race, searching a cash prize of £6,663. The plan is to kick off the proceedings at 15:45 GMT. Estedaama has tasted success over this distance in the past, and will be the one to watch out for.
Out of others, Fleeting Image deserves the highest respect. Eased in grade, the Alan Bailey-trained should make a bold bid. The 3-year-old is performing really well these days. She recorded her second victory of the season at Newmarket in August.
After doing the trick in a tremendous fashion, she ran another fine run here earlier this month, when missing the crown only by one and a quarter lengths. The daughter of Sir Percy is running pretty well at the moment, and will have a significant role to
play.
On the other hand, Daliance is still unexposed at 1m4f on Polytrack. Emerald Wilderness needs to bounce back again, but is a triple winner at this track. Emma’s Gift is still 2lb higher than last win, and has stamina to prove at 1m4f.
Energy should go well, but was one place behind Fleeting Image last time. Ukrainian will have a good chance if back near the form of close call off 1lb lower at Kempton.
Plenty of good runners are aiming high, but it will be very difficult for them to stop Estedaama from completing her hat-trick. We wish the best of luck to all.
