Model Rating: 91/100 | Grade: A
Remi Mae deserves more credit than her official recent record gives her. She was first past the post at Nottingham last time before being demoted following a stewards’ enquiry after drifting left and making contact close home. In pure performance terms she effectively demonstrated that she was capable of winning the race, and she did so against seven rivals on good-to-firm ground.
That Nottingham run followed a respectable third at Chester over further, where she raced keenly and did not see the extended seven furlongs out particularly strongly. Dropping back to six furlongs therefore makes plenty of sense, and her earlier Salisbury form also shows that she handles this track and quick conditions.
The model likes the combination of trip change, recent underlying performance and remaining upside. Andrew Balding’s runners are rarely easy to underestimate when returning quickly to conditions that suit, and Remi Mae’s last run suggests her current level is ahead of the bare result.
She is not completely straightforward — the Nottingham interference and previous keenness are legitimate concerns — but those quirks are already factored into the rating.
