A triple winner on the All-Weather last year, Estrela Star is lightly-raced on turf and off the back of a good effort on his previous start, he returned to winning ways at Newbury yesterday under a really good ride from Sophie Smith.
He travelled with plenty of enthusiasm behind the leaders, but he came off the bridle a little earlier than several of his rivals and Sophie did well to negotiate a passage near the far rail, hitting the front before the furlong pole and keeping on really strongly to score for the fourth time. He holds an entry at Beverley next Tuesday and all being well, he is likely to head there under a penalty. It was great to see him bounce back and congratulations to Sophie on her ninth career success! Comments are closed.
