Anyone concerned about the gap in works? Is that normal for Mott? I can't see him being fit to go 8.5 furlongs off those works alone but obviously Mott may be the type that puts a lot of hard unpublished works into his horses.

Those two are fine. It is the fact that after his last race on 12/15 they brought him back for one 3 furlong work on 1/18 and then he didn't work again until 2/5. Can you really get a horse ready to stretch out 2.5 furlongs off an 8 week layoff from two 5 furlongs works? I'd think you'd want at minimum three works in a row. If the horse had just raced on 1/18 I wouldn't be as concerned but it raises a big red flag for me unless Mott is known as someone that works horses hard in unpublished works.
