Mojito des Mottes
Mojito des Mottes is still finding his feet after eight races, with just one win to his name, but there are signs that patience might be rewarded. The 4-year-old broke through at Newton Abbot on 22 August and has been active since, though he remains inconsistent—his last six runs show he's as likely to finish fourth as he is to place. What stands out is his preference for longer distances. Over two miles or more, he wins roughly 1 in every 5 races, which is nearly double his overall win rate and suggests there's a particular trip where he runs best.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Ben Pauling's Naunton yard has been in fine form this season with 91 winners, and the trainer was encouraged by that Newton Abbot victory, believing the horse has the makings of something better as he matures. Earlier in his career, Pauling noted that Mojito des Mottes had blown up in a race at Ludlow after going too hard early, and he reckoned that experience would help sharpen his awareness of pace. With that lesson absorbed and his obvious affinity for staying distances, there's still potential here for him to become a more reliable performer. For now, he remains a work in progress—the sort of horse that makes racing interesting precisely because his best days may still be ahead of him.
