Lay of the Day: Maria Montez
Even in a moderate grade horses can be outclassed, just like Maria Montez in the 2.30 Brighton.
The 2.30 Brighton isn’t the strongest race in the world but even a 0-75 class 5 handicap will be beyond the capabilities of some horses.
In 15 starts Maria Montez is yet to exceed a Racing Post Rating of 61. When you consider two of her top-3 performances were assisted by a strong draw bias then you really are in trouble.
Last time out she was beaten fair and square in a 0-65 class 6 handicap. Racing over the same distance, on the same ground, with the same jockey where is the improvement going to come from?
