The recent form figures of 7-14-3-7-3 are worth a closer look. Those two third-place finishes show Moscow Power can run into a paying position, but the seventh and fourteenth suggest inconsistency — on some days it travels like a threat, on others it struggles to land a blow. At three years old, that kind of up-and-down form is not unusual. Horses this age are often still learning their trade, and a single click into gear can change everything quickly.
The trainer is Michael Appleby, who operates out of Oakham in Rutland and has had a productive season — 71 winners sent out is a serious number that marks Appleby as a yard worth paying attention to. Running a stable that busy means Moscow Power is in good hands and surrounded by horses that are regularly winning races. When a trainer is in that kind of form, it often means horses that have been circling without a win can suddenly find their moment. Moscow Power, last seen racing just yesterday, is very much in the mix and clearly being kept busy — which is usually the sign of a team that believes there is a race to be won somewhere on the horizon.
