Unico

Her most recent success came at Brighton in September 2025, over five furlongs, and since then she has finished third at Lingfield over six furlongs—a result that hints at improving consistency. The jockey Josie Gordon observed after an earlier win at Yarmouth that Unico was "still a little bit green and a bit unsure about what to do" when she hit the front, which tells you something important: this is a horse still learning the job. When inexperienced horses are struggling in the ring, that nervousness often fades with time and racing. In Class 5 races—the lower tiers where she competes—Unico has won two of 18 starts, a respectable 11 percent win rate at that level.

The yard is in decent form this season with 51 winners sent out, and Gordon's plan for Unico is straightforward: target fillies-only races on the all-weather, where she seems to thrive. She is rated 59, which top-3 finishes her firmly in the modest ranks, but she has shown enough to stay in training and earn regular opportunities. Her recent run of races without a win—third, eighth, eighth, ninth, eighth, third across her last six—suggests she may be due a change of luck or a race that suits her perfectly. She races next against similar opponents, and sometimes that is all a horse needs.
