Trained by Ben Pauling out of his yard in Naunton, Gloucestershire, Mojito Des Mottes is in capable hands. Pauling's team has sent out 86 winners already this season — a serious tally that speaks to a well-run operation with horses fit, confident, and ready to race. When a yard is firing at that rate, even a horse yet to win is likely getting every opportunity to do so.
The recent form reads 2–4–2 from the last three completed runs, which tells you this horse is competitive without yet finding the extra gear needed to get to the front. A place here, a mid-pack finish there, another place — it's the profile of a horse that knows what it's doing but perhaps hasn't yet clicked into top form, or simply hasn't found the right opportunity. With Pauling's 86-winner season as backdrop, that opportunity may not be far away.
