I made this note after Mottisfont's last run:
Mottisfont
13/05/23 Ascot 1m h/cap S/ft Cl 2
This was a good performance. Racing against older horses as a 3yo this early in the season, carrying 9st, constitutes a run of note.
From her form, it looks like she prefers goodish ground so this run, on soft, is boosted further. They were running this in group races last term and this race was her first h/cap.
Interesting, for sure. Especially if they race her back into 3yo h/caps and on better ground, whatever.
I have a feeling that this one may be quite well handicapped given her performances in group company last term and it may well be that she's even improved since then so, back into 3yo company the current 66/1 is a price I simply cannot ignore.
i t could be that the price will be even longer come post time.
Given all that, win or lose, she has to be an Ew bet for this handicap.
Jackie Oh looks to have favourite's chance but it's a 5/1 shot and I'd rather be on mine any day.
Mottisfont - 5.00 Ascot 66/1 Ew Sky bet 1/5th odds for 1st 8 Places.
